Features: Avoid consuming repeatedly high-temperature-heated rapeseed oil. After rapeseed oil is heated at high temperatures, vitamins A, E, and others in the oil are destroyed, and fatty acids are also damaged due to high-temperature oxidation. On the other hand, repeatedly high-temperature-heated rapeseed oil can cause fatty acids in the oil to oxidize and polymerize, producing harmful substances to the human body, such as benzo[a]pyrene, etc. Long-term consumption of repeatedly high-temperature-heated rapeseed oil is not beneficial to health and may even induce cancer. Second, rapeseed oil should be avoided after high-temperature heating and storage. After rapeseed oil undergoes high-temperature treatment, oxidation accelerates, causing linoleic acid and vitamins A, E to be damaged to varying degrees, reducing nutritional value. On the other hand, after unsaturated fatty acids oxidize, they polymerize, forming macromolecular compounds that contain certain toxicity. Consumption of these can lead to stunted growth in animals, liver and spleen enlargement, impaired reproductive and liver functions, and even cancer. Third, excessive consumption of rapeseed oil should be avoided. Rapeseed oil contains a large amount of linoleic acid, which helps lower cholesterol levels in the human blood. However, rapeseed oil is an unsaturated fat, and if consumed in excess, it is easily oxidized in the human body, forming lipid peroxides. Excessive accumulation of lipid peroxides can lead to diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and myocardial infarction, and may also induce cancer. Fourth, patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease should avoid rapeseed oil. From the perspective of dietary regulation, patients with arteriosclerotic heart disease should consume more vegetable oils and less animal fats. However, rapeseed oil contains a large amount of erucic acid, which is harmful to the cardiovascular system and can easily worsen the condition of arteriosclerotic heart disease. P58-59
