“My understanding is that it will make you ill.” (rancid oil)
Rancid oil won’t make you sick at the time you ingest it. Over time, if you kept eatins it, I read it can damage your DNA and set you up for some cancers.
However, if you have ever smelled rancid oil, YOU AREN’T GOING TO USE IT. I had some olive oil in a pretty bottle and it was in there for quite a while. I decided to use some and nearly threw up from the smell.
So, if the oil you use has an off smell, dump it - your future health will thank you. It may be olive oil smells worse than any other oil when it goes rancid. Man, it was really, really, bad.
Rancid oil tastes and smells awful, but I’m not sure it will make you sick.
