Experts warn against the excessive use of this common cooking oil because it contains a fat that, according to reports, is related to breast cancer.
Seed and vegetable oils do not have the best reputation because experts often claim that activation inflammation In the body.
To retreat that statement, a new investigation of Weill Cornell Medicine He discovered that linoleic acid: a fat found in seeds of seeds, vegetables and nuts makes breast cancer cells multiply and grow.
There are different forms of breast cancer, and the constant use of linoleic acid puts women at risk of developing the most aggressive type: triple negative.
Unfortunately, this invasive form spreads faster and requires a more aggressive treatment plan, which could include a combination of chemotherapy, surgery and sometimes radiotherapy.
The survival rate is also lower, with 77% compared to regular breast cancer, which is around 90%.
“Now we know that linoleic acid feeds the growth of cancer cells in a very specific way,” said Dr. John Blenis, lead author of the Cancer study and researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine.
Blenis seems optimistic about this discovery because he feels “sheds light on how to define which patients could benefit from specific nutritional recommendations.”
And before people are scared about this news, “the findings do not justify the avoidance of seed oils, but suggest moderation and selectivity, especially for high -risk people,” Blenis reassured.
The expert gets used to saying that this discovery is just a piece of puzzle.
“A balanced comprehensive food diet is still an important cornerstone of cancer prevention and a strategy that everyone can adopt,” said the doctor.
If you are not sure of what is considered a Seed oil – Canola, corn, cotton, grapes, soybeans, sunflower, chartmus and rice are adjusted to the invoice.
Seed oils are high in omega-6 and lower fatty acids in omega-3s, and that is where the problem lies.
“The problem seems to be in the proportions of the two fats we take,” he told The Post Stephanie Schiff, a dietary nutritionist recorded at Northwell Huntington hospital.
“We tend to obtain a higher than healthy omega-6 relationship to Omega-3 and that can generate problems with inflammation in the body,” he added.
In general, these oils should be used in moderation and this news restores that people should eat a balanced diet consisting of fruits and vegetables.
