> I cut back on fried foods

That's the only 100% banned item in my diet because fried stuff makes my skin look ashen and ugly. Whenever fried foods come up in conversations everyone immediately assumes I am talking about fats vs carbs and proteins. Google does too. I can eat most any fats, even butter sticks, no problem. I was wondering if anyone knows why fried foods are so bad.

It sounds like you might just be allergic to certain types of oil. No need for wooey explanations.

Also but not likely to be the reason for your symptoms - cooking with vegetable oils releases toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other diseases,
