I am very surprised that a "Macrobiotic" diet would encourage the use of
fried foods.  In addition to the fats, cholesterol (sp?), and calories,
it has been known since shortly after WW2 that frying mutates the fat cells
(especially in animal fats, but to some degree in vegetable fats as well)
and makes them into a cancer-like cell.  Shortly after WW2, during which so
many households saved all their bacon grease for collection and reuse,
a great number of stomach cancers were noted.  It was quickly discovered
that (as stated above) frying caused mutation of the cells into a cancer
or cancer-like cell type, apparently invoking a growth of cancerous cells
in the people who digested such.

I'm not a doctor, or even a medical professional.  My source is primarily
articles sent to me by my mother, a certified cytology supervisor.  She
works with a pathologist in the Sacramento, CA area doing research on and
detection of cancer.
