Researchers have listed vegetables that release harmful trans fats when fried.
The facts were shared by scientists from Meijo University (Japan).
They conducted the study and shared their findings in the scientific journal Food Research International .
Consumption of trans fats is one of the causes of the development of heart and vascular diseases.
They are found in a number of products: semi-finished products, margarine, fried foods.
Even healthy vegetables can be harmful to health under certain conditions.
The list included garlic, onions, leeks and cabbage.
If you fry them in olive oil at a temperature above 140 degrees, this will create conditions for the formation of trans fats.
Experts explained that this occurs due to polysulfides and isothiocyanates.
These are special sulfur compounds that are found in the listed vegetables.
