Fat tissue is more than just stored energy; it’s living tissue built from the foods you eat. One of the primary fats found in seed oils is linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid.Over the past several decades, the amount of linoleic acid stored in the body has increased dramatically. Some researchers estimate that the average body fat contained about 6% linoleic acid in the 1960s, compared to roughly 18% today. Linoleic acid levels in breast milk have also increased significantly during the same period, while soybean oil consumption has risen substantially.One concern with seed oils is that linoleic acid can oxidize when exposed to heat, especially during repeated heating and reheating. This process can create toxic byproducts that may negatively affect health.Cholesterol is commonly used as a marker of cardiovascular health, but the body naturally produces cholesterol, and some researchers question whether it tells the whole story.Another important consideration is the balance between omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. While a balanced intake is important, many people consume significantly more omega-6 fats than omega-3s.To improve your omega fatty acid balance, focus on reducing highly processed seed oils and increasing omega-3-rich foods such as fatty fish, fish oil, and cod liver oil.DATA:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4836695/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11849496/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916523233031 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6860741/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4908872/Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.
