Very interesting point. Do you have any of your preferred research papers handy?

I went searching just now out of curiosity and did find this one [1] which indeed affirms what you're saying.

Personally, I reach for ghee when I want a neutral oil (e.g., for cooking scrambled eggs). And, like you, I reach for some fancy EVOO for everything else. I have to confess my approach to get here was a lot less scientific though; I mostly settled on these two using the metric of deliciousness.



Here's what I was able to find from my notes:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12090031

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15291498/

https://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e363

Pretty sure they're all on SciHub.

Here's some about heat, frying and other methods of cooking when it comes to creating mutagenic compounds:

Last one is about acrylamide, which I believe there is little evidence to believe it's harmful (it's been a while since I've actually looked at studies on it), but I assume the conditions that produce it also end up producing compounds that can be harmful.


I actually have them saved in my personal wiki, when I'm on my home network I'll bring it up and post the citations I've collected here.
