Part 6/9:
The overconsumption of omega-6 fatty acids can lead to inflammation, a precursor for numerous chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Over the past several decades, chronic inflammatory diseases have surged, coinciding with the increased consumption of seed oils.
Research in animals has further linked a high intake of omega-6 fatty acids, particularly from seed oils, to a range of health issues such as reproductive health effects, neurodegenerative disorders, and even increased cancer rates. Although human studies are limited, some existing research indicates alarming trends associated with oils like soybean and corn oil.
