Is cooking oil containing starch high in temperature?

Male  26 years old 2018-05-07
I like to eat French fries and fried sweet potatoes, but my husband said that the cooking oil temperature of these foods is too high, which will destroy the nutrition of the food. Is this really the case?

    Many foods are not suitable for cooking at high temperature, otherwise eating will be harmful to the body. Staple cereals and potatoes, which contain more starch, begin to gelatinize when heated to 60 degrees. When the cooking temperature of starchy food exceeds 120 degrees, it is easy to produce a secondary carcinogen-acrylamide. Some foods with more starch and less protein are most likely to produce such harmful substances when fried or grilled at high temperature.
