Saw an interesting article reporting on a study that found that reusing cooking oil causes high blood pressure http://www.heartcenteronline.com/myheartdr/home/research-detail.cfm?reutersid=4046&nl=4
The DR connection for this is the fact that reuisng cooking oil is very, very common in the DR. Ever walked about those food vendors on the street and seem them cooking all sorts of foods in a kettle of hot fat. No way to know how long that fat has been used. I would assume this practice also common in many Dominican homes.
High blood pressure is a problem among Dominicans. Very possibly this is a contributing factor.
