A member asked:

Cooked with sauce with extra virgin olive oil and it boiled. is this past its smoke point and bad for health? is it carcinogenic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You're fine: All smokes probably contain some carcinogens but you can't go through life avoiding everything that makes life enjoyable because that's impossible. And while I'm not much of a cook, it's common for sauces that contain oils (most do) to boil. Relax and stop worrying. Trusting you do not smoke, drink to excess, or do drugs, and that you exercise. Best wishes.
