    Cooked sardines and oxidized PUFAs

    Primal Fuel
    Hello I have a little question.
    Sometimes I buy sardines and like to cook them at once and then to use them sparingly over the course of the week, on my salads...etc

    But something came to mind : I'm pretty sure the PUFAs in it become oxidized ?
    Am I right ?
    Should I be worried about it ?

    Thanks

    Cook on lowish heat and enjoy. I cook mine into an omelet over about 250.

    i think that the whole foods tend to offer their own protections against this kind of thing - antioxidants, or polyphenols, or additional protective saturated fat, depending on the food. if you're eating whole foods, the chances of oxidation are far less, assuming you prepare them in a sensible way. fish oil capsules is a whole nother story.

    i wouldn't roast the sardines (lolz), but i really think you're fine doing what you're doing.
    "dean ornish and dr. davis think the palmitic acid our bodies use for fuel while we sleep is poison if we eat it. zero-carbers like charles washington think the oldest fuel in our evolutionary history – glucose - used by organisms a billion years ago and without which the brains of modern mammals cannot survive for more than a few minutes – is an unnatural toxin if you eat it. both views ignore basic facts of medical physiology and defy evolutionary history." - kurt harris

    Yes I cook them in an cast iron pan on moderate heat.

    Thanks for all the answers I'm reassured.
