*Beyond Oil's contribution to public health.*
*The Problem*: Reusing frying oil hundreds of times over several days with the same oil is a common practice worldwide, occurring in restaurant kitchens, hotels, catering services, and fried food factories. There was no such solution to this problem until now, because if the restaurant changed its oil every day, the price of food would rise unreasonably.
*Who is affected by the problem? *This issue impacts individuals worldwide, regardless of location or background. When consuming fried food, we ingest approximately 20% of the absorbed oil.
*Statistical Insight*: In the Western world, approximately one in five individuals is affected by cancer, with reused frying oil posing a significant risk factor. Reusing frying oil over multiple days leads to harmful health outcomes, including an increased prevalence of certain types of cancer. Recent academic literature, along with studies by regulatory agencies like the U.S. and European health agencies, confirms a direct link between consuming oil absorbed in fried foods and elevated cancer rates.

During frying, oil degradation is accelerated and harmful compounds such as Acrylamide, PAH, free radicals, Free Fatty Acids ("*FFA*"), Total Polar Materials ("*TPM*"), Metals, formation of trans fats diverging from safety standards. These compounds affect the oil's quality, leading to foaming, smoking, and a change in color, smell, and taste. The frying oil fumes contains aromatic carcinogenic components causing contributing to mortality and morbidity of customers and kitchen personnel.
