Deep frying cooking oils promote the high risk of metastases in the breast-A critical review
2020 Oct Food and Chemical Toxicology Ganesan K, Xu B
Repeatedly heated cooking oils, commonly used for deep-frying, produce byproducts containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and aldehydes with carcinogenic, mutagenic, and tumorigenic properties. The study gathers data from various electronic findings and library databases, indicating that the intake of RCO can lead to various adverse effects, including an elevated risk of breast cancer. Notable studies confirm the unfavorable effects of RCO and highlight underlying molecular mechanisms that strongly promote tumorigenic effects in the mammary organ.

Different source of commercial vegetable oils may regulate metabolic, inflammatory and redox status in healthy rats
2020 Mar Journal of Functional Foods Gomes SV, Dias BV, Pereira RR, de Pádua Lúcio K, de Souza DMS, Talvani A, et al.
The study found that linseed oil supplementation decreased HOMA-IR and hepatic cholesterol, but increased IL-6 levels; coconut oil supplementation increased glucose, HOMA-IR, cholesterol, and serum triacylglycerol levels, as well as TBARS levels; while sunflower oil supplementation decreased cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels, and also reduced IL-6 and TNF levels, as well as the GSH/GSSG ratio.

Health Effects of Coconut Oil—A Narrative Review of Current Evidence
2018 Nov 05 Journal of the American College of Nutrition Wallace TC
Limited but consistent evidence supports the topical use of coconut oil for the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis and "oil pulling" for preventing dental caries. Coconut oil products may also be beneficial in preventing hair damage due to protein loss during grooming processes and UV exposure. However, limited evidence does not support the use of coconut oil for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, bone loss, or glycemic control. Larger clinical intervention studies are warranted for weight loss and cardiovascular disease. Refined copra oil has a lesser impact on total and LDL cholesterol compared to butter fat but not cis unsaturated vegetable oils. Many claims about coconut oil products are based on animal and/or in vitro studies or studies of purified medium-chain fatty acids, highlighting the need for more human clinical and observational studies.

Omega-6 vegetable oils as a driver of coronary heart disease: the oxidized linoleic acid hypothesis
2018 Sep 26 Open Heart DiNicolantonio JJ, O’Keefe JH
The study concludes that elevated levels of linoleic acid, particularly from omega-6-rich vegetable oils, are positively associated with increased prevalence of diabetes, obesity, asthma, and coronary artery disease. The findings propose a comprehensive theory, the 'oxidised linoleic acid theory of coronary heart disease,' highlighting the role of linoleic acid in initiating the oxidation process of LDL particles, leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk. The study also suggests the potential use of 9-HODE levels as a novel risk factor for coronary heart disease.

The study concludes that there is a positive association between CVD and DM, and while different lifestyle modifications can improve clinical marker status in short-term treatments, none have been shown to be effective in improving long-term outcomes.

Does cooking with vegetable oils increase the risk of chronic diseases?: a systematic review
2015 Apr British Journal of Nutrition Sayon-Orea C, Carlos S, Martínez-Gonzalez MA
The study concludes that the myth that frying foods is generally associated with a higher risk of CVD is not supported by the available evidence, virgin olive oil significantly reduces the risk of CVD clinical events, and high consumption of fried foods is probably related to a higher risk of weight gain.
