A new study in the United States warns of a widespread product in our consumption: cooking oils. Published in the scientific journal Gut, research establishes a link between different oils and the growth of cancer tumors in the body.
The study analyzed tumors from more than eighty people aged 30 to 85 and noticed that they contained high levels of bioactive lipids. These small oily molecules are produced when the body metabolizes seeds based on seeds, including sunflower oil, grapeseeds, canola and corn.
These bioactive lipids identified in tumors play a doubly harmful role, reports The Independent. On the one hand, they increase chronic inflammation in the body, a phenomenon already recognized as a key factor in the development of many cancers. On the other hand, they hinder natural healing processes of the body, creating an environment conducive to the growth and spread of tumors.
Chronic wound
For scientists, these results are alarming and could explain the increase in colon cancer cases in young adults. “Cancer acts as a chronic injury that does not heal. If your body is constantly exposed to ultra -formed foods, rich in added sugars, saturated fats and inflammatory seed oils, your ability to heal this wound is reduced. This promotes inflammation and removes the immune system, allowing cancer to grow ”exhibits Dr Timothy Yeatman, Associate Director of the Translational and Innovation Research Center at the TGH Cancer Institute (Florida, United States).
If this study reminds us once again to pay attention to our diet, it does not question all the uses of oils based on seeds. The emphasis is mainly placed on the moderation and diversification of fat sources to preserve good health, without forgetting to limit our consumption of ultra -formed food.
Oils rich in omega-3, like those from olives and lawyers, constitute a much healthier alternative. Unlike seed oils, these fats help reduce inflammation and support the organism’s overall health. You now know that put on your next list of food races.
