Hazards of reusing cooking oil

Heating of oil to deep frying temperature can laed to degeneration of oil molecules. many believe that this is a major source for saturated fat (which in turn increases bad cholesterol)
It is common for most hotels and restaurants to reuse the oil left over from deep frying of food. cost saving and convenience of handling can be the reason for this. fortunately they consume a lot of oil and it is hoped that most oil gets burned off or gets absorbed in food before it becomes a health hazard.

The problem is different at home. cost is of course a consideration for most households and any suggestion for using oil only once is bound to be rejected by most housewives.
also it is quite uncommon for normal house hold to deep fry daily , so chances are that the oil will not get reused for many weeks . the problem of reusing oil gets worse when the same is stored for extended periods.

so hear are some suggestions to keep in mind if you choose to reuse cooking oil

1. as soon as oil cools to room temperature, filter it using coffee filter (multiple layers of paper) to remove any food particle that is  floating in oil . this will avoid bacteria being formed on these food particles .
2. do not mix this oil with fresh oil . store this oil in a separate label the date on which this oil is first used and try and use it within a few

The nasty germs lurking in public pools

By The Week's Editorial Staff | The Week – Tue, May 29, 2012

One out of five Americans admits to urinating underwater. And that's not even the worst of it

Looking to stay cool this summer? You might want to stay out of the water. According to a new survey by the Water Quality and Health Council, one in five Americans admits to urinating in public pools — and that's just the beginning of the "nasty germs" lurking below the surface. Here's what you need to know before diving in:

What germs are in there?
Seven out of 10 swimmers reportedly don't rinse off or shower before jumping in the pool, making for a potent stew of other people's sweat, cosmetics, feces, and other dirty stuff. Harmful germs ranging from Giardia, E. coli, and cryptosporidium parasites have all been shown to spread in public pools. All three are known to cause everything from diarrhea to dehydration to vomiting.

But doesn't chlorine kill all the bad stuff?Only to a point. (Too much chlorine is bad for you, anyway.) And contrary to popular belief, it isn't chlorine itself that irritates eyes: It's when chlorine comes into contact with high levels of contaminants that swimmers experience eye redness and the water begins emitting a "strong chemical smell," says Michele Hlvasa, chief of the CDC's Healthy Swimming Program. An ideal swimming pool should be odorless, as chlorine only really smells when it's interacting with contaminants. If the chlorine is pungent, you might want to cool off elsewhere.

So... what should I do before wading in?"It may seem counterintuitive, but it's important to shower before you jump in the pool to help keep swimming healthy for everyone," Dr. Chris Wiant, chair of the Water Quality and Health Council, tells CNN. Indeed, "not showering before swimming is equivalent to recycling bath water," says Paul Friswold at Daily RFT. That neighbor "who just mowed his lawn, then walked directly to the pool and cannonballed into the deep end? He's a main ingredient in the filthy human gumbo that is a public pool."

How can I tell how dirty a pool is?
Swimmers wary of a public pool's safety can request free test strips to check pH and chlorine levels before diving in.

Swimming Pools Are Public Toilet Bowls for one in four - a Survey

This may sound shocking bu an article in news paper claims that if you're taking a refreshing dip in a pool with four other people, odds are one of you is urinating. This is not gross-out myth, but cold, depressing fact from a scientific research group sponsored by the American Chemistry Council. The survey, conducted in April, asked nearly 1,000 adults whether they urinate in pools. One in five bravely admitted their mistakes. And those are the ones who admitted it. it seems that , water opens our natural floodgates and, according to doctors, puts us all at risk. What do you think are you one of those that is ignorant enough to put others (and yourself) at risk and yet brave enough to admit it? let us participate in survey of our our own please add comments
