Some effects of deep frying on dietary fat intake
1992
Varela, G. | Ruiz-Roso, B.

Varela and Ruiz-Roso raises some very important questions.

Moreover, given the available analyses of fatty acids in fried foods, how accurately can we assess intake of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats in populations or individuals?
