Therefore, the excessive intake of these oils could lead to production of free radicals in the human system and thereby enhance the risk of certain cancers, cataracts, rheum fold arthritis, Parkinsonï disease and contribute to the aging process besides causing lipid per oxidation which now a days is considered as the root cause for Initiation of Coronary Heart Disease (C.H.D). Rice Bran Oil - Heart Friendly Oil :- Choice of healthy cooking oil is an important subject. The ideas keep on changing as new evidence accumulates.
