Scientists tested if avocado oil and olive oil can handle being reused many times to fry potatoes without going bad.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

When you fry potatoes over and over using avocado or olive oil, the oil gets more acidic, more oxidized, and loses some of its natural antioxidants.
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.
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.
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.
Both oils can be reused many times before they break down enough to be considered unsafe by health standards.
