"Olive Oil is probabaly one of the worst things you could fry something in. Of course, you said you baked it...but, even then, olive oil should never be truly cooked. It gives off free radicals by the cupfull. Of course, Canola is worse...rapeseed...a relative of castor beans...poisonous as well as free radicals...very bad, or soy oil...even worse...no polyunsaturates, either...baaaad, bad, bad! I've been told that sesame oil, or sunflower oil are much more stable for cooking. Best of all for cooking and frying is Palm Oil...It's the most stable of all".

I just read many posts on this thread concerning olive oil being dangerous when cooked. Now I am VERY concerned as that is all I have been cooking with for several years! Does anyone else know if this statement has any truth to it or not???

Thank you.
