Vegetable and seed oils

In the United States, vegetable oil consumption has risen by 130% throughout the 20th century. Some scientists think that because soybean oil has a particularly high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids, it causes inflammation.

Even though adults do require some dietary omega-6 fats, the average Western diet provides significantly more than is required. In fact, to enhance your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio and gain the anti-inflammatory benefits of omega-3s, health professionals advise eating more omega-3-rich foods, such as fatty fish. Some studies suggest that vegetable oil’s high omega-6 fatty acid content may promote inflammation when consumed in high amounts. Linoleic acid, the most prevalent dietary omega-6 acid, did not influence inflammatory markers, according to controlled research. Before any judgments can be drawn, more investigation is required. Cooking oils made from vegetable and seed oils are a common component of processed foods.
