Avocado oil doesn’t break down much faster than olive oil when used for frying — they both last about the same number of uses before going bad.

Quality parameters during deep frying of avocado oil and extra-virgin olive oil

Cross-Sectional Study

In Vitro

The study found that avocado oil and olive oil both last a long time when used for frying, and they break down in similar ways — so yes, they’re about equally stable, just like the claim says.

Both avocado oil and olive oil can be reused many times for frying before they break down enough to be considered unsafe by health standards.

88%

When you fry with these oils over and over, they react with heat and moisture and start breaking down into chemicals that signal the oil is going bad.

Avocado oil breaks down faster than olive oil when reused for frying — it hits the safety limit for bad compounds after 10 uses, while olive oil lasts 13 uses.
