To find out how the s•ybean oil produces negative consequences, they split mice into three groups. The first one received a diet high in normal s•ybean oil, while the second group received s•ybean oil with the linoleic acid removed.

A third group got coconut oil as part of their regular regime.

The first and second group’s results revealed modified gene expression in around 100 different hypothalamus genes. These affected things like metabolis, neurological disease, and overall inflammation.

The genes are ones associated with schizophrenia, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease, so some heavy hitters.

The most affected gene, though, is the one that codes for oxytocin – the happiness hormone – production.

Oxytocin promotes social bonding and feelings of euphoria and love, meaning that disruptions are linked to depression and autism.

It also plays a key role in glucose metabolism and body weight, a fact that turned out as expected with the mice.

These results led researchers to rule out linoleic acid as a main driver of the issue. Instead, they moved on to another compound found in s•ybean oil, stigmasterol.


Further testing ruled this compound out, too.

They’re still working on figuring out what exactly it is about s•ybean oil that has such an impact on us, but in the meantime study author Poonamjot Deol has some advice.

“If there’s one message I want people to take away, it’s this: reduce consumption of s•ybean oil.”

OMG ITS SOOO FAST!!!
POWERFUL!!!
