Beyond Oil's Contribution to Public Health
The Problem: Reusing frying oil hundreds of times over several days with the same oil - this practice is deeply ingrained in the global food industry, occurring in restaurant kitchens, hotels, catering services, and fried food factories. There was no such solution to this problem until now, because if they change the oil every time they fry - like in home use or even once a day, the price of food would rise unreasonably.
Who is affected by the problem? This issue impacts individuals globally, transcending geographic and cultural boundaries. From an early age and throughout life, people consume fried foods, widely prepared with oil reused across various settings-provided by catering companies in kindergartens and schools, within military services, at universities, and during social gatherings such as weddings. These foods are also prevalent in hotels and restaurants and Most of the world's population buys fried food from the supermarket in the form of snacks, sweets, fried pastries and also frozen foods that have been fried in a factory and are heated at home before eating such as coated sausages, fries, chicken nuggets, onion rings, fried chicken, mozzarella sticks, spring rolls, fish sticks, Fried calamari, fried fish and more.
Such widespread and continuous exposure to reused frying oils significantly contributes to severe health conditions like cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, lung problems, and obesity, affecting individuals throughout their lives.
Statistical Insight: In the Western world, approximately one in five individuals is affected by cancer, with reused frying oil posing a significant risk factor. Reusing frying oil over multiple days leads to harmful health outcomes, including an increased prevalence of certain types of cancer. Recent academic literature, along with studies by regulatory agencies like the U.S. and European health agencies, confirms a direct link between consuming oil absorbed in fried foods and elevated cancer rates. (Source 1: Impact of Repeatedly Heated Cooking Oils on Cancer Incidence - Critical Review; Source 2: Professor Oren Fruchte | Professor Nissim Garti Research Reports).
During frying, oil degradation is accelerated and harmful compounds such as Acrylamide, PAH, free radicals, Free Fatty Acids ("FFA"), Total Polar Materials ("TPM"), Metals, formation of trans fats diverging from safety standards. These compounds affect the oil's quality, leading to foaming, smoking, and a change in color, smell, and taste. The frying oil fumes contains aromatic carcinogenic components causing contributing to mortality and morbidity of customers and kitchen personnel.
