class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Avoid industrially produced trans fats and repeated deep-frying in the same oil. India caps trans fat tightly, but reheated frying oil can still develop harmful breakdown products. Oil used once may be filtered and used for a curry within a day or two, provided it has not deteriorated. Smoke, persistent foam, darkening or thickening mean discard it; their absence does not prove safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_this_piece_reaches_a_verdict\"><\/span>Why this piece reaches a verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other pieces in this series, <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/tofu-vs-paneer-protein-nutrition-digestion\/\">tofu versus paneer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/ghee-vs-butter\/\">ghee versus butter<\/a>, deliberately declined to name a winner, because the evidence didn\u2019t support one. Trans fats are different. Industrially produced trans fats increase the risk of heart disease, and that\u2019s the reason India\u2019s food regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, has progressively capped them. There\u2019s no good-intentions case to be made for them, and no traditional wisdom to balance against. It\u2019s simply a matter of knowing where they come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_trans_fats_are_and_where_they_come_from\"><\/span>What trans fats are and where they come from<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most industrially produced trans fats come from partial hydrogenation, a process that turns liquid vegetable oil into a more solid, long-lasting fat. That process helped make vanaspati popular for decades: cheaper than ghee, stable at room temperature, and useful for frying, mithai and bakery goods. Today, the formulation and compliance with current limits matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small amounts of trans fats also occur naturally in milk and meat from ruminant animals, such as cows, sheep and goats. These count towards the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/trans-fat\">World Health Organization\u2019s advice to keep total trans-fat intake below 1% of total energy<\/a>. Industrially produced trans fats should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cooking method matters too. WHO describes the trans-fat increase from high-temperature frying as modest compared with partial hydrogenation. With repeated frying, the concern extends to the wider breakdown of the oil. Even a household that has never bought vanaspati needs to pay attention to the way it fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vanaspati_then_and_now\"><\/span>Vanaspati then and now<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part many people don\u2019t know, and it changes the conversation. Since <strong>1 January 2022<\/strong>, FSSAI\u2019s standards have capped trans fat in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fssai.gov.in\/upload\/uploadfiles\/files\/Chapter%202_2_Fats_oil_fat%20emulsions.pdf\">vanaspati, refined oils, bakery shortening, margarine and fat spreads<\/a> at no more than 2% by weight. Its separate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fssai.gov.in\/upload\/uploadfiles\/files\/Comp_Prohibition%20and%20Restrcition%20of%20sales%20XI_01042025.pdf\">food-products rule<\/a> limits industrial trans fat to <strong>2 g per 100 g of total oils and fats in foods made with added edible oils or fats<\/strong>. That follows WHO\u2019s recommended national-limit approach: the denominator is the fat, not the whole food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the old warning, that vanaspati is loaded with trans fat, needs updating for products made within today\u2019s rules. That isn\u2019t the same as vanaspati being a good everyday choice. Its saturated-fat content still matters. <a href=\"https:\/\/nin.res.in\/dietaryguidelines\/pdfjs\/locale\/DGI_2024.pdf\">ICMR-NIN\u2019s 2024 dietary guidelines<\/a> advise avoiding partially hydrogenated fats such as vanaspati as the cooking medium. Favour suitable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/17-07-2023-who-updates-guidelines-on-fats-and-carbohydrates\">oils rich in unsaturated fats<\/a>, in limited amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_risk_that_hasnt_gone_away_is_reused_frying_oil\"><\/span>The risk that hasn\u2019t gone away is reused frying oil<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s where an everyday risk still sits. When oil is heated to frying temperature again and again, it breaks down. It may darken and thicken as degradation products build up. <strong>Total polar compounds, or TPC, are used to assess that deterioration.<\/strong> FSSAI\u2019s rules say that used vegetable oil or fat with TPC above <strong>25% must not be used<\/strong>. You cannot read that percentage from the colour of a kadhai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reusing oil often comes from an entirely sensible wish not to waste something expensive, with the pan topped up rather than emptied. But adding fresh oil does not remove the degraded compounds already there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_alert_outside_the_home\"><\/span>Where to stay alert outside the home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rules have changed the picture for oils and fats, but a few places still deserve a second thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Street and shop-fried snacks.<\/strong> Samosas, pakoras, jalebis, kachoris and bhaturas may be fried in large kadhais used through the day. Ask how the oil is managed and choose food cooked through and served hot. A busy stall may sell snacks quickly without changing its oil; queues and clear-looking oil cannot confirm safe frying practices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bakery goods.<\/strong> Biscuits, puffs, khari and some cakes have traditionally relied on bakery shortening. They are covered by the food-products trans-fat limit, but that does not make them low in saturated fat. Keep them occasional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Packaged snacks.<\/strong> Check the ingredients list for \u2018partially hydrogenated\u2019 oil and the nutrition panel for trans fat and saturated fat. Words like \u2018fried in vegetable oil\u2019 on the front of the packet say nothing about how often that oil was used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this means avoiding fried food outside the house altogether. It means choosing where you buy it with the same care you\u2019d give to anything else you eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reusing_oil_at_home_sensibly\"><\/span>Reusing oil at home sensibly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fssai.gov.in\/upload\/uploadfiles\/files\/Guidance_Note_Used_Oil_12_11_2018.pdf\">FSSAI\u2019s household guidance<\/a> and ICMR-NIN\u2019s dietary guidelines offer a practical approach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Avoid repeated deep-frying in the same oil.<\/strong> There is no universal safe count regardless of temperature, frying time or the food cooked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If oil used once has not deteriorated, filter it and use it for a curry.<\/strong> Filtering removes food particles, but it does not reverse degradation. Avoid another round of deep-frying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use it within a day or two.<\/strong> Used oil deteriorates faster than fresh oil. Store it separately rather than pouring it back into the fresh-oil container.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Discard deteriorated oil.<\/strong> Blue-grey smoke, persistent thick foam, dark or murky oil, or changed consistency are warning signs. Their absence does not prove safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t pour it down the drain.<\/strong> Once cool, mix small amounts with something absorbent, such as sawdust or used paper towels, and bin them according to local rules. For larger amounts, use an authorised used-oil collection service where available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The habit most worth dropping is the kadhai of oil kept for weeks and topped up before each round of frying. Topping up with fresh oil dilutes the problem without removing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frying_for_Diwali\"><\/span>Frying for Diwali<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Festive frying is a joy and nobody needs to give it up. A few habits make it better:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start with fresh oil, treating it as a one-occasion batch rather than something to keep through the season. Discard deteriorated oil even within one session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the recipe\u2019s frying temperature and avoid letting the oil smoke.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fry in batches rather than crowding the kadhai, which drops the temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain fried food well on a rack or suitable kitchen paper. Let dry snacks cool before storing them in airtight tins; perishable fillings and milk-based foods need appropriate refrigeration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different suitable cooking oils have something to offer. Groundnut and mustard oils can both have a place in an Indian kitchen. I suggest a combination across meals, through a commercially prepared blend or by rotation, rather than relying only on sunflower or any single oil. Groundnut, soybean, sunflower and rice bran are examples to consider. Match the oil to the cooking method; variety does not mean using more of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When buying fried snacks or mithai, check the shop\u2019s FSSAI licence or registration, handling and storage. These checks cannot establish the condition of its frying oil. The same <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/dietary-tips\/leftover-food-safety-indian-food\/\">food-storage principles<\/a> apply during Diwali as through the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_there_a_gut_angle\"><\/span>Is there a gut angle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honestly, a modest one. The strongest reasons to avoid trans fats and heavily degraded oil concern general health rather than your gut specifically. But a heavy, fried meal can leave some people with that uncomfortable, overfull feeling after festive eating. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/indigestion-dyspepsia\/eating-diet-nutrition\">Fatty or greasy foods can trigger indigestion in some people<\/a>. Fresh oil matters for safety; keeping fried food as the treat rather than the whole meal may help with comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also break the old-school habit of assuming a festive dish must be deep-fried. Explore air-frying, shallow-frying, pan-frying, tandoor cooking or baking. These can use less oil; the oil content and nutrients retained depend on the recipe, temperature and time. Enjoying fried foods occasionally is fine, but making them a daily habit can add more energy than you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"My_festive_eating_advice\"><\/span>My festive eating advice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festive season is a time to enjoy, indulge and celebrate with friends and family. It can completely change your routine, food habits and eating pattern. However, it is a temporary phase, and you can get back to your routine once it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few tips I would give as a nutritionist to help you enjoy the festival without guilt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Enjoy fried foods mindfully and in small portions.<\/strong> Think of them as something to enjoy for the taste, rather than the whole meal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Build the rest of the plate too.<\/strong> Choose vegetables, dal or another suitable protein food, and your usual grain or roti, then add smaller portions of fried foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try a different cooking method.<\/strong> An air-fried version may suit a dish you would normally deep-fry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose the sweet you enjoy, with its ingredients in mind.<\/strong> A small bowl of milk-based kheer or a sweet made with dates and dry fruits can be an alternative to jalebi. Jaggery-based sweets can fit too, but jaggery is still an added sugar. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/live-well\/eat-well\/how-to-eat-a-balanced-diet\/how-to-cut-down-on-sugar-in-your-diet\/\">Dates and dry fruits<\/a> do not make a sweet automatically low in sugar or calories either. The recipe and portion matter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make festive foods at home when practical.<\/strong> It gives you control over the fat, quantity and cooking method. Use fresh oil and avoid repeated reheating here too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep water within reach and limit sugary drinks.<\/strong> If fizzy drinks tend to aggravate your symptoms, choose a drink that suits you. Follow any prescribed fluid limit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease or a digestive condition, follow your individual advice on portions, preparation and food restrictions. Deep-fried foods may need limiting, especially if they worsen symptoms or do not fit your care plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are following a weight-management plan, mindful portions can help you stay close to your usual energy needs. Enjoy the occasion, then return to your normal meals without guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_honest_takeaway\"><\/span>The honest takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the rare fats question with a straight answer. Industrial trans fats are worth avoiding, and India caps them tightly. The habit worth changing is at the kadhai: fry in fresh oil, avoid repeated deep-frying, and only reuse oil for a curry within a day or two if it has not deteriorated. Don\u2019t wait for smoke, foam or darkening before reconsidering an old batch. The Diwali snacks can stay. They\u2019re just made with better oil habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sources\"><\/span>Sources<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/trans-fat\">World Health Organization.
