Does cooking with olive oil cause cancer?

sheryl crow says so.Does cooking with olive oil cause cancer?
If that were true, there would be no living Italians....they would have all died from cancer.....duh!!!Does cooking with olive oil cause cancer?
Use fats in moderation in your diet.





I am a firm believer that LIVING causes cancer.





I have a degree in chemistry and spent several post graduate years studying human physiology and I can tell you that the only way that olive oil could be a PARTICULAR culprit is if you over heated it on a regular basis and ended up with carcenogenic side products due to combustion. Don't fry with it. Fortunately if you tried to fry with it it would smoke and you would run screaming out of your house as the smoke alarm rang loudly in your ears.





Pour olive oil (sparingly) on your salad or into your spaghetti sauce and raise your glass of red wine to sky. Salut!
one could argue the act of living invariably leads to cancer....provided one isn't struck down by some other tragedy before the cancer kicks in.





Olive oil in paticular...no...never heard of it causing cancer





EDIT ...LOL...too funny that the previous poster said the same thing...I like you Jen...and yes...I'd agree with her on the burned olive oil.
Wow... there's a real nutrition specialist:) ......olive oil is wonderful for raising your GOOD cholesterol; and is considered one of the very healthiest oils to use. I suggest you get your nutrition facts from somewhere else, other than ';People'; or ';Us'; magazine
Sheryl crow is a musician and NOT a dietician. Olive oil is a good quality fat. Sheryl should stick to writing music

Sheryl Crowe is right about nutrition facts 100% of the time!
