A comprehensive meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association has found no evidence that common seed oils (canola, soybean, sunflower) cause inflammation or disease in humans, countering claims popular on social media.

The Research

Researchers analyzed 82 clinical trials involving 140,000 participants and found no association between seed oil consumption and heart disease, cancer, obesity, or inflammatory markers.

Expert Consensus

The American Heart Association reaffirmed that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated vegetable oils reduces cardiovascular risk by 30%.
