Fried foods: good or bad for health?
Deep frying is a type of cooking or cooking technique that involves cooking food submerged in fat, butter or oil. There are countless fried foods: fish, chicken, potatoes, tortillas and many more dishes.
The strangest of all dishes is fried ice cream. It is a dessert prepared with a scoop of ice cream at a very low temperature and covered with raw egg. It is covered with crushed cookies or cornflakes and lightly fried. The low temperature of the ice cream prevents it from melting when fried.
Among the most famous types of frying, the following stand out: Roman (with flour and egg), breaded (with egg and breadcrumbs), in gabardine (with a paste made of flour and a gaseous liquid such as beer, soda water). or siphon). .
Various studies and research prove that foods subjected to this type of cooking lose nutritional value due to the oxidation and thermal breakdown of fats and produce harmful substances such as acrylamide.

They contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases, promote the increase in cholesterol and triglycerides and increase the risk of certain types of cancer (colon, breast and prostate).
