Is Your Frying Oil Harming Your Customers? A New Study Reveals the Hidden Dangers – and What You Can Do About It

A groundbreaking new study published in Science – one of the world’s most respected scientific journals – has uncovered a direct link between a common cooking oil ingredient and aggressive breast cancer.

Researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine in New York found that omega-6 linoleic acid, found in many popular frying oils like corn, canola, and soybean oil, can activate a pathway (FABP5-mTORC1) that promotes the growth of triple-negative breast cancer – one of the most difficult cancers to treat.

The study:

So What Does This Mean for Restaurants and Food Businesses?

Frying oil isn’t just about flavor – it’s about safety.

When oil is reused repeatedly (as happens in most commercial kitchens), it breaks down and produces harmful compounds:

• Toxic breakdown products of omega-6 fatty acids

• Acrylamide, a carcinogenic chemical formed during high-heat frying

• Oxidation byproducts and free radicals
