Health Minister warns of risks from consuming fried cabbage

Indonesian Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin has issued a warning regarding the health risks associated with consuming fried cabbage, particularly when prepared with reused cooking oil.

While fresh cabbage is a low-calorie vegetable containing beneficial nutrients, the Minister noted that frying it in used, dark, or murky oil significantly alters its nutritional quality. He cautioned that daily consumption of cabbage fried in such oil could increase the risk of cancer and lead to high cholesterol levels.
