Deep-Frying Could Be Worse for Your Arteries Than Butter, Say Cardiologists

Cardiologists warn that deep-frying foods can damage arteries by increasing oxidized LDL and promoting plaque buildup, citing a 2021 Heart study that links regular fried-food consumption with higher risks of coronary heart disease, heart failure, and stroke. While butter should be used in moderation, experts say the arterial risks of frequent deep-frying can outweigh butter’s — and they recommend heart-healthy swaps like air frying, low-oil sautéing, and baking, plus gradual diet changes to reduce saturated and trans fats.

"Thanksgiving Fire Safety: Avoid Deep Frying Dangers"

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning about the dangers of deep frying turkeys for Thanksgiving, as the popularity of this cooking method grows. The commission shared videos showing the potential hazards, including huge fires being ignited seconds after the turkey is dropped into the oil. Factors such as overfilling the fryers and not using thermostat controls contribute to the rapid spread of fires. The commission advises using turkey fryers outdoors on flat surfaces, away from structures, and having the correct air extinguisher nearby in case of a fire.

Top Fish Picks for Perfect Deep Frying.

When deep frying fish, it's important to consider the type of fish being used. Meatier fish like salmon and tuna are better for grilling or baking, while white fish like halibut and tilapia are great for deep frying. Cod, flounder, haddock, and bass are also excellent choices. To achieve a crispy exterior, it's important to use the right batter or coating, and to monitor the oil temperature. Club soda can also be used in the batter to achieve a crunchy texture.
