What makes fried foods worse?

Cooking food at high temperatures, for example broiling or barbecuing meats, can lead to the formation of minute quantities of many potent carcinogens that are comparable to those found in cigarette smoke. Charring of food resembles coking and tobacco pyrolysis and produces similar carcinogens. There are several carcinogenic pyrolysis products, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, which are converted by human enzymes into epoxides, which attach permanently to DNA. Pre-cooking meats in a microwave oven for 2-3 minutes before broiling shortens the time on the hot pan, which can help minimize the formation of these carcinogens.

Recent reports have found that the known animal carcinogen acrylamide is generated in fried or overheated carbohydrate foods (such as french fries and potato chips). Studies are underway at the FDA and European regulatory agencies to assess its potential risk to humans. The charred residue on barbecued meats has been identified as a carcinogen, along with many other tars.

if your just throwing it in a pan it should'n make a difference. but when frying in oil the food absorbs the fat and colesteral. If you my fry or deeo fry use peanut oil, you will notice when you measure the oil you origionaly had in the pot before frying it will be almost the exact same amount when you finsh. For some reason penut oil doesnt get absorbed as much.

Actually you're frying some of the fat out of the bologna, and it tastes better to boot.

I like a fried egg and bologna sandwich once in a while, very good. My Dad introduced me to that.

well besides the fact if you add some kind of other fat to the pan frying foods on high heat actually changes the dna molecules of the food and creates a cancer causing chemical :

U better make sure its a non stick pan

fried foods are hard to digest for some people causing stomach pain and cramps

You'll actually cook out some of the fat - so go for it.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.what makes fried foods worse? i guess eating them would do the trick,lol
