A study from UC Riverside links soybean oil consumption to obesity through the production of oxylipins from linoleic acid, with genetic factors influencing individual susceptibility. The research suggests that excessive intake of soybean oil, common in processed foods, may contribute to metabolic issues, although more research is needed to understand the mechanisms and implications for humans.
Research indicates that high consumption of soybean oil may contribute to obesity through the production of oxylipins, compounds derived from linoleic acid that promote inflammation and fat buildup, with genetic factors influencing individual susceptibility.
A UC Riverside study links soybean oil, a common cooking ingredient in the US, to obesity in mice, suggesting that excessive consumption of linoleic acid and its conversion into oxylipins may contribute to weight gain and inflammation, raising concerns about its widespread use in processed foods.
A study shows that high consumption of soybean oil, rich in linoleic acid, can harm gut health by promoting harmful bacteria and weakening the intestinal barrier, potentially increasing the risk of inflammatory bowel disease; healthier fats like olive oil are recommended.
A UC Riverside study published in Scientific Reports reveals that high-fat diets, particularly those including soybean oil, can alter gene expression related to obesity, colon cancer, immune function, and brain health, and may increase COVID-19 risk by upping ACE2 expression. Mice fed high-fat diets showed changes in gut microbiota and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. The research underscores the complex impact of dietary fats on health and the importance of considering long-term dietary habits, rather than short-term indulgences, in assessing risk factors for various diseases.
A study conducted by researchers at UC Riverside has found that excessive consumption of linoleic acid, a component of soybean oil, may be linked to digestive issues such as irritable bowel diseases and a leaky gut. The study showed that linoleic acid decreases the expression of a protein that maintains the integrity of the intestinal barrier and alters the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut microbiome. The researchers recommend reading food labels to avoid products containing soybean oil, reducing consumption of processed and fried foods, and opting for healthier alternatives like olive, avocado, or coconut oil.
A study conducted at the University of California, Riverside has found that high consumption of soybean oil, which is commonly used in cooking, can lead to an increase in harmful bacteria in the gut, potentially causing colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The linoleic acid in soybean oil was identified as the primary concern, negatively affecting the gut microbiome and causing the intestinal epithelial barrier to become porous. The researchers recommend reducing soybean oil consumption and opting for healthier alternatives like olive oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil.
Consuming soybean oil, which is widely used in the American diet, has been linked to gut health issues such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Researchers at the University of California, Riverside found that a diet high in soybean oil led to a decline in helpful bacteria and an increase in dangerous bacteria in the gut, including adherent invasive Escherichia coli. The study challenges the belief that unsaturated fats from plants are always healthier than saturated fats from animal products. The researchers suggest that excessive linoleic acid, found in soybean oil, negatively affects the gut microbiome and increases the risk of inflammation and chronic inflammatory disorders. They recommend avoiding processed foods and opting for healthier oils like olive oil, which contains less linoleic acid.
