Hello friend steemian, In addition to fried eggs (omelet or cow's eyes), usually fried rice is also paired with cucumber. And if you include those who like to eat fried rice using cucumber, then you should leave the habit from now on. Because if frying fried rice with oil that has been used, causing the emergence of aldehyde substances in these foods.
And these substances are compounds that are quite toxic. Can be found in oil that has been used or low-quality oil.
If someone eats foods that are cooked with oil like this and eat cucumber afterwards, there will be a chemical process that causes inflammation of the throat. The inflammation arises because cucumber sap which has chemical compounds will mix with aldehyde compounds. then the throat becomes polluted and unhealthy.
Worse, aldehyde is a trigger for the emergence of neurodegenerative diseases and certain types of cancer and other neurological related diseases.
So not only fried rice, eating cucumber with other foods that are fried with oil contain aldehyde substances the risk is the same.
But you don't need to worry about that. You can outsmart it in a healthy way.
And always make sure other fried or fried rice is fried in healthy and hygienic oil. Avoid using used oil, and oil from sunflower seeds, and also bulk cooking oil with high saturated fat content.
Use pure cooking oil, and use new cooking oil every time you cook, it would be better to use cooking oil from coconut, not palm oil.
