The sun was shining out today!!!
It is a "myth" that regularly eating fried foods causes heart attacks,
researchers have found, as long as you use olive oil or sunflower oil.
I love fried sliced potatoes and bacon and french fries, but about 5 years ago the doc told me I needed
to cut back, so I cut out french fries, bacon, no more fried potatoes and I guess it is better
of course I still didn't lose weight???? I guess its my portions, but I do love food. :)
Now I read this and wonder what????? I wonder if I can indulge again????
They say there is mounting research that it is the type of oil used, and
whether or not it has been used before, that really matters. The latest study, published in the British Medical Journal, found no
association between the frequency of fried food consumption in Spain - where
olive and sunflower oils are mostly used - and the incidence of serious heart
disease. However, the British Heart Foundation warned Britons not to "reach for the
frying pan" yet, pointing out that the Mediterranean diet as a whole was
healthier than ours.
