Abstract in brief

  • Repeated heating of coconut oil creates harmful compounds, including carcinogenic PAHs, which can pose health risks when consumed regularly.
  • In a rat study, consuming repeatedly heated coconut oil led to genetic damage, increased oxidative stress, and early signs of liver cell changes that could lead to cancer.
  • The research suggests that eating RCO may contribute to liver damage and increase the risk of developing cancer, highlighting the importance of avoiding reusing heated oils in cooking.]
