Can your daily cooking oil do more harm? Health experts are now warning about the potential risks of using too much seed and vegetable oils in your diet. A new study by researchers at Weel Cornell Medicine found that linolic acid, a fat that is commonly found in oils such as soybean, sunflower, kusum, and even in some animal products such as pork and eggs, may be associated with a dangerous type of breast cancer.

This type of cancer is known as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and is considered one of the most aggressive and hard-to-treat forms of the disease. Unlike other breast cancer, TNBC does not respond to hormonal therapy or treatments that target Her2 proteins. It extends quickly and is known for its low survival rate – about 77 percent, while more common type B rest cancer compared to 90 percent.

What did the researchers find?

According to scientists, linolic acid can connect itself to a protein called FABP5 (fatty acid binding protein 5), which is found in high amounts in TNBC cells. Once connected, it activates a growth tract in cancer cells that causes them to grow and spread rapidly.

To test it, researchers used experiments on mice. They found that mice fed a high diet in linolic acid, which develop rapidly growing tumors than those on a low-lynolic acid diet. This shows that consuming oil regularly in this fat can help in the development of aggressive cancer cells.

The senior writer of the study and a cancer researcher of Vel Cornel Medicine, Dr. John Blenis said, “This discovery helps us better understand the relationship between diet and cancer. It also opens doors for new diet strategies that can reduce the risk of cancer, especially for those who can already become more weak.”

Should you stop using seed oil?

Conclusions do not mean that you need to cut seeds or vegetable oils completely, but health experts recommend using them in moderation. These oils have been widely promoted as a healthy alternative to saturated fat found in butter or ghee, but much can be anything harmful, and this new study is combining the growing debate about the effects of omega -6 fatty acids on our health.

Linolic acid is a type of omega -6 fat, and while our body needs it in small amounts, omega -6 can create a diet very rich in a diet and omega -3 very little one can cause an imbalance that can cause inflammation -a known contribution to many diseases including cancer.

Healthy options to consider

If you are worried, consider replacing the intake of your seed oil with a healthy fat. Additional virgin olive oil, avocado oil, and nuts are rich in good fat that support the health of the heart and brain. In addition, try to add more omega-3-rich foods to your food, such as flexseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel.

While more studies are required to confirm the long-term effects of linolic acid, taking short steps to reduce the excessive use of seed oils and maintain balanced fat intake can lead to a long way to protect you from chronic conditions-including aggressive breast cancer.
