I have just sent a text to Jamie Oliver, I am concerned that he continues to use virgin olive oil to cook with, and I love his recipes, wonder what he replies. I have sent him a link, that I have previously posted, about oils, the good and the bad to fry with.
So many people watch his program, so he has to be informed, he is probably unaware of the differences.
Maybe Jamie has read this:

And he shows awareness because he did write this:

Hi Helvella, yes I have read it, so he does understand, and yes you can fry very lightly with olive oil, but not really extra virgin, but how do you know what is lightly fry!! I mean you fry at the same heat point, or you don't fry at all, I still think that it's safest to use virgin coconut oil, then you know, that you're doing the right thing, without worrying, is this a light fry, or is it not, and I like my foods crispy. A fry is a fry!!
