Paytm founder-CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma used the AI tool ChatGPT to verify claims made by a user on Twitter. The user had discussed the harm of reusing cooking oil, and ChatGPT confirmed that reheating and reusing oil can impact its health properties by increasing trans fat content. Reheating oil can lead to chemical changes, including the formation of harmful compounds like trans fatty acids and aldehydes. The AI tool also mentioned that repeatedly heating oil decreases its smoking point, making it more prone to oxidative damage. Straining and storing oil properly can minimize the negative effects.
