however frying food produces dioxins

Thank you for that, though I'll admit that I had to look up 'Dioxins':

"..toxic chemicals that can be found in many foods, but are most concentrated in animal products with high fat content: meat, dairy products, fish, shellfish, and eggs.
Dioxins are persistent environmental pollutants that accumulate in the food chain when animals eat contaminated plants..
Dioxins can cause serious health effects, including: cancer, hormone disruption..."

So, a few questions:

When you say that frying food produces dioxins, do you mean that the high temperature of the frying releases the dioxins from the fat of the meat (bacon, in my example) being cooked? Or do you mean that the frying process itself forms the dioxins (chemically)?

I also wonder how these dioxins are to be avoided in the first place..?

If you're able to enlighten me or point me in the direction of some good information on the topic Ricardo, I would be most grateful.
If I must deny myself bacon fried in butter (one of life's great pleasures as far as I'm concerned), then I shall do so with a heavy heart and (likely) the odd mumbling of profanity..

There was an article on the sott website a few years ago , as i recall , from a couple of Japanese researchers ( affiliated with some university ) that concluded that frying would produce the dioxins , they tried it with several common fats/oils , reached the conclusion that unless coated with something ( sorry but don't recall what ) the result would always produce dioxins , my other source for this is Edgar Cayce , though not as specific , but anyways recall him advising someone to never eat fried food. ( there's this but not what i read here on sott years ago Link )
