Recent research suggests that certain cooking oils, particularly seed oils such as sunflower, grapeseed, canola, and corn oil, may be linked to an increased risk of colon cancer. A study published in the journal Gut examined tumors from over 80 colon cancer patients and found elevated levels of bioactive lipids—molecules produced during the metabolism of these seed oils—in the cancerous tissues. These bioactive lipids are believed to trigger chronic inflammation, hinder the body’s natural healing processes, and promote tumor growth.
The study’s findings highlight the potential health risks associated with the consumption of certain seed oils prevalent in ultra-processed Western diets. Experts recommend considering alternatives rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as olive oil and avocado oil, which possess anti-inflammatory properties and may offer protective benefits against cancer development.
