Does vegetable shortening cause cancer?

Asked by jjosephs (115points) May 10th, 2009

I fry my chicken with vegetable shortening because I hear it’s the best thing to fry chicken in. Is it safer or more dangerous than other types of cooking oil such as vegetable oil, coconut oil, olive oil, or margerine?
