Eating fried foods could raise your risk for several life-threatening diseases. But not all frying oils may pose the same health risks

The more fried food you eat, the more likely you are to suffer from Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, reveals new research. But goodies fried in some trans-fat-free oils—now offered at many restaurants since FDA cracked down on trans fats—may not present the same health hazards

A U.S. study team analyzed diet and disease data collected from more than 100,000 men and women. Compared to people who ate fried food less than once a week, those who gobbled things like fries, fried chicken, or other deep-fried snacks four to six times a week saw their risk for Type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease jump 39% and 23%, respectively. The risks rose even more for people who ate fried food on a daily basis.

(…) While Cahill research suggests you‘re better off limiting your fried food intake—especially away from home, where oils are more likely to be reused.

Learn English online: How the internet is changing language

       Online, English is now a common language for users from around the world. In the process, the language itself is changing. Noah Webster thought that a common language brings people together and helps create a new identity.

       Webster’s dictionary, now is in its ${11}^{th}$ edition, adopted the Americanized orthography familiar today${}^2$ “-er” in place of “-re” in theatre, not using the “u” from colour, losing one “l” in traveller, and listed new words for example, skunk and squash.

       The Internet is creating a similar language evolution, but at a much faster velocity. Some linguists anticipate that in $10$ years English will dominate the Internet, but in very different forms. That’s because people who speak English as a second language are more in number than native speakers. And they use it to communicate with other non-native speakers${}^5$, particularly on the Internet where people don’t pay so much attention to grammar and orthography and users don’t have to preoccupy about their way of speaking.

       Users of Facebook, for example, in a number of different “Englishes"${}^1$ including Indian English, or Hinglish, Spanglish (Spanish English) and Konglish (Korean English). For a long time, these variations existed in individual cultures, but now they are expanding and becoming popular online${}^6$. “On the Internet all that is important is that people can communicate - nobody has a right to tell them what the language has to be,” says Baron.

       The intensification of the use of the Internet in everyday life means that language online is not a zero result game. On the contrary, it permits multiple languages to show up and they are mixing into English${}^4$ that is becoming the world’s lingua franca${}^3$.
