A new study looked at the tumors of more than 80 patients with colon cancer and found that seed oils may raise the risk of the disease
A new spike in colon cancer cases among young Americans might be due to the ingestion of certain kinds of culinary oils, a recent government-backed research suggests.
There's been talk that chowing down on hefty servings of seed oils like sunflower, canola, corn, and grapeseed could trigger bodily inflammation, though solid proof has been elusive up until now.
In an eye-opening revelation, this study dissected the tumors from over 80 colon cancer sufferers, identifying seed oils as a potential risk factor for one of the cancers that's climbing the charts at breakneck speed.
These tumors were peppered with high concentrations of bioactive lipids, minuscule greasy substances spawned during the metabolic breakdown of seed oils. Featured in the esteemed Gut journal, the study probed 81 tumor specimens from individuals between 30 to 85 years old. The findings?
These samples had levels of oil-induced lipids that towered over those from healthier fats within their malignant growths.
The investigating team is advocating for a switch-up to oils brimming with omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in olive and avocado, to dodge these risks.
Even President-Elect Donald Trump's Health and Human Services Secretary pick, Robert F Kennedy Jr, once warned that Americans are getting "unknowingly poisoned" by these everyday cooking oils.
America's leading cancer and heart disease organizations have made it clear there's no solid proof that moderate amounts of seed oils, as part of a balanced diet, cause cancer. Despite the rising wave of opposition from the wellness tribe, some health pros beg to differ.
