Olive oil has virtually no saturated fat, right?, so its good to add to salads and foods for extra "good" calories.
If you fry food in olive oil, like maybe fish or potato slices, will this then turn into SATURATED fats.
Thanks Guys.

I figure the Christians are the ones pushing Olive Oil. Seems like when I was a kid and sick in the hospital these Christians would come around and smear Extra Virgin Olive Oil on my forehead and say the old "I Can Play Dominoes Better Than You Can Play Dominos" prayer and then tell me that now I would get better.
Most products are just a marketing thing. People trying to make money. They use a lot of big scientific sounding mumbo jumbo.

Just a question guys:
Ok, we know that when we heat up the olive oil (oil), your fats become saturated. But if we put the oil into the freezer, that also happens? I ask because we make at home sugarfree ice cream, but we beat eggs with oil toguether and then put into freezer.
So the ice cream end up having 1 serving 130 cal and 12 g of fats ( from the egg and oil ). This fats are still most unsaturated like it was before freezing the oil, so i can eat it to reach my good fats?
Thanks alot and hope you guys understanda my point ( srry for the english )

Saturated fats are solid at room temp - think butter, coconut oil, etc. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats. As the others have said, best to not cook with it and use it for salad dressings, or dressing vegetables. I prefer cooking with coconut oil because it can tolerate high heat without damaging its structure.

As long as you stay under the smokepoint, the oil retains all of its goodness. If you reach the oil's smokepoint, you have burned it and made it unusable anyway. Has it turned into a saturated fat? Who cares! It's burned and tastes like crap!
If you want an oil with a higher smokepoint, try canola. If you don't want to chance it, then just use a butter spray, and get your fats in elsewhere.THE STICKIES

When you heat up your oil, after a certain temp the insaturated fats gets saturated... So i just wanted to know if that also happens when you reverse the process ( freezing ). I don't think heating and freezing leads to the same result, thats why i'm insisting for another answer, but thanks anyways...
