Does heating olive oil turn into trans fat?
No, heating olive oil does not turn it into trans fat (where did you hear that myth?). Olive oil is very good for you because it’s rich in monounsaturated fats (oleic acid.). You should use extra-virgin olive oil for salads (to eat it cold) and refined olive oil for cooking and frying, because when the unrefined particles get burned (above 350°C/662°F), it doesn’t taste that good.
