A recent WHO report compares consuming highly processed fried foods like samosas to smoking tobacco due to severe health risks. Reheating cooking oil more than three times releases toxic chemicals that cause cancer and damage cells. The trans fats in samosas increase heart disease risk by 29% and lead to clogged arteries. Additionally, the refined flour (Maida) triggers blood sugar spikes and type-2 diabetes.
