A new study has found that there is no direct correlation between the amount of fried food people eat and their risk of heart disease. Instead, the research found that long-term heart risk depended more on what kind of oil was used in the cooking process — olive oil and sunflower oil are considered the healthiest.

The study, published in the British Medical Journal, studied the eating and cooking habits of 40,000 people in Spain for nearly 15 years. The Mediterranean diet favored by most individuals in the study leans heavily on fried foods, particularly fried fish, but also the healthier olive and sunflower oils for the frying.

Advantages of Negative Calorie Foods

Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest then the calories food contains. Human body must work much harder to process this calories – it is burning fat instead of storing it! They are also called “fat burning foods” or “negative calorie foods”.

Of course, this is good for your health. However, no food is actually “negative calorie” food, but net effect of eating the right kind of food is decreased amount of fat in your body. This is possible because your body uses more calories to digest the food, then the food has calories. In other words, your body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage. This is why they are called “negative calorie foods”.
