Cardiologists and other experts have given reasons why some cooking oils freeze when refrigerated.

The buzz surrounding the “Freezing Oil Challenge” has piqued several experts’ curiosity.

An expert, Maryjane Ogar asks “What exactly does this challenge entail, and what deeper insights lie beneath its surface? Armed with questions and a thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a journey to uncover the truth behind this viral sensation. During the investigation, I came across Aproko’s video content on social media where he explained why certain cooking oils freeze.”

According to her, some oils have high levels of saturated fats, while others have high levels of unsaturated fats. Oils with high levels of saturated fats tend to freeze when kept in the fridge. She further clarified that oils with high-unsaturated fats like Soya oil & Olive oil do not freeze in the fridge.

She said, “This information led him to more unanswered questions about Saturated fat, polyunsaturated fat, and trans fats. To paint a comprehensive picture, I knew I needed more expert insights. I reached out to Dr. Monisola Adanijo, a respected cardiologist whose expertise in cardiovascular health could offer invaluable perspectives.”

Dr. Adanijo, like Aproko Doctor, also highlighted the importance of being cautious about trans-fat. However, she also explained the harmful effects of oils rich in saturated fats, as these fats increase cholesterol levels in your body, leading to health issues like heart disease, stroke, etc.

Whereas, unsaturated fatty acids reduce cholesterol levels in your body hence they are good for your health. She pointed out that many unhealthy cooking oils are rich in saturated fats available in the Nigerian market. How can a consumer understand that your cooking oil contains a high level of unhealthy saturated fats?

She suggested a simple test: if an oil turns solid when in the fridge, it most likely contains high levels of saturated fat. Whereas, oils rich in healthy unsaturated fat will not freeze.  She urged consumers to be mindful while selecting their vegetable oil. Dr. Adanijo advised to check the product level very well, in order to choose the right healthy oil. The oil with high polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and low saturated fats is the best choice.

 

This is because polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) is good for heart health and lowers cholesterol, while ones with high saturated fats are bad for health.

 

Other experts said that oils such as Olive oil and Soya Oil are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) which are good for your heart health and low in saturated fat. A good example is Golden Terra Soya Oil, which is available in our market.
