Actually...if you fry foods in olive oil at the correct temperature...it is a very healthy oil to use in frying.

Link: www.helpwithcooking.com... Scroll down the page to "Frying With Olive Oil" section.

Thanks i didnt know that. Olive is my favorite oil but I recently stopped using it for frying. Now I can use it again on a lower heat...

So one prospective cohort study, which is an observational study, is enough evidence to pardon fried foods now?

These types of studies MUST be corroborated because they don't show an arrow of causation; they merely show a correlation.

Using the such fallacious logic, one could say that shaving less than once per day will cause a heart attack in men based on this study: aje.oxfordjournals.org...

The one fifth (n = 521, 21.4%) of men who shaved less frequently than daily were shorter, were less likely to be married, had a lower frequency of orgasm, and were more likely to smoke, to have angina, and to work in manual occupations than other men.
