Raipur Oncologist Explains Cancer Risks of Deep Frying Versus Air Frying

Dr. Jayesh Sharma, a Raipur-based oncologist with over 25 years of experience, explained that deep frying may pose higher cancer risks than air frying due to compounds like acrylamide, heterocyclic amines (HCAs), and trans fats formed at high temperatures. Air fryers cook food by circulating hot air with minimal oil, reducing but not eliminating these risks. While the link between acrylamide and cancer is not fully confirmed, repeated heating of oil in deep frying can increase harmful substances.
