Soybean Oil Might Inflict Neurological Changes To The Brain

Jan 20, 2020 03:02 AM By Johnny Vatican

The health risks posed by using soybean oil, the most popular edible oil in the United States for decades, are still a matter of debate among health professionals.

Soybean oil is a widely-used industrial ingredient among food firms that make processed and premade foods. It's also popular with restaurants because it's relatively cheap. Soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the America, as per the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

A study back in 2015 found soybean oil might cause obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes in mice, for example. Others said Americans should consider avoiding plant oils such as soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil and cottonseed oil due to their high omega-6 content. Omega-6 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat found in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds that may or may not pose dangers to one's health.

A new study from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) found soybean oil impacts the brain’s hypothalamus in mice fed diets high in this oil. It revealed consumption of soybean oil seems to have impaired the ability of around 100 genes to function properly in the mice. One of these genes is responsible for producing oxytocin, a hormone also called the body’s "love drug." The study said these changes were only associated with soybean oil, but not with other soy products like soy milk or other cooking oils.

The study published this month in the journal, Endocrinology, compared mice fed three different diets high in fat: soybean oil, soybean oil modified to be low in linoleic acid and coconut oil.

In 2015, this same UCR research team found soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and fatty liver in mice. The same group in a 2017 study found soybean oil induces less obesity and insulin resistance if engineered to be low in linoleic acid.

"The hypothalamus regulates body weight via your metabolism, maintains body temperature, is critical for reproduction and physical growth as well as your response to stress," Margarita Curras-Collazo, lead author on the study and a UCR associate professor of neuroscience, said.

The team concluded a number of genes in mice fed soybean oil were not functioning correctly. One such gene produces oxytocin. In soybean oil-fed mice, levels of oxytocin in the hypothalamus decreased.

They believe this discovery could have consequences for energy metabolism and proper brain function and diseases such as autism or Parkinson's disease. The team warned there is no proof soybean oil causes these diseases.

"Do not throw out your tofu, soymilk, edamame, or soy sauce," Frances Sladek, a UCR toxicologist and professor of cell biology, said. "Many soy products only contain small amounts of the oil, and large amounts of healthful compounds such as essential fatty acids and proteins."

The team said their study was conducted on mice, and mouse studies do not always have the same results in humans.

Right there in the title. Little green men from Mars might be shooting cancer rays into us, but probably are not.

Soybean oil has only been in the food stream since WWII when expeller-pressed technology allowed oil to be produced from the soybean. It replaced saturated fats that had been in the food stream for thousands of years, and of course the U.S. is the world's largest supplier of soybeans, dominating world markets because it is subsidized by American taxpayers.

This is hardly the first study to point out the health dangers of soybean oil.

 

[Zippyjuan]

If you are a male mouse and consume a 40% fat diet (what the mice were given), then yes, that may be unhealthy.

if you are a human and not getting 40% of your calories from soy oil, you are probably fine.

Exactly.

Nut Now they can just sprinkle a little MSG and all will be forgotten.

I wish we could figure out what destroys the logic cells in the people who believe and post these articles. I understand that Created makes his living doing that, what I don't understand is how so many people can be scientifically retarded enough to buy into it.

It's like a religion. They don't need facts - they have faith.

People need to switch to Canola oil.

I would disagree. Rapeseed is not good either. Do some research.

I find that so long at it is at least partially hydrogenated, it is good to use.

Rapeseed oil is made from the rapeseed plant, specifically from the seeds of the rape or rapeseed plant, which is a member of the mustard (Brassicaceae) family. What is canola then?

It was in the early 1970s that canola was first bred from rapeseed at the University of Manitoba in Canada by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson.

In 1998, “the most disease- and drought-resistant canola variety to date” was developed using genetic modification, and this is how the majority of recent varieties are produced.

Is canola oil vegetable oil? Yes, it’s a type of vegetable oil so it’s also sometimes referred to as this as well.

What is canola oil made from? It comes from the canola plant.

Wild rapeseed oil contains large amounts of erucic acid, which is known to cause health problems, so the canola plant was developed from rapeseed in order to use it to produce a food-grade canola oil with lower erucic acid levels.

The name of canola oil was originally LEAR (low erucic acid rapeseed) but for marketing purposes was changed to canola oil. This word was derived from the combination of “Canada” and “ola,” meaning oil.

Canola oil is a much more appealing name than LEAR oil or rape oil, but should you use it in your foods?

Canola oil price is relatively cheap so it’s not surprising that there are many canola oil uses. The oil works well as an industrial oil and has been used in candles, soaps, lipsticks, lubricants, inks, biofuels and even insecticides.

Once the powers that be figured out how to genetically modify rapeseed oil, it began being sold as an edible food product.

Hence, it’s been brought to market with the claim that it’s a wonder oil, low in saturated fats and a source of omega-3 fatty acids. But in its current hybridized and modified state, it can cause a large number of health issues that you will learn about shortly.

Being low in saturated fat is a big plus!

Maybe a time out will help you realize the errors of your ways.

vaccination is an unquestionable good for humanity

This, the insults, and ridicule is enough for me to say - your toxicity is not welcome here.

See ya!

Angelatc is as convicted to her objective scientific ideology as anyone that opposes her stance. She is consistent and provides scientific data that supports her objective scientific based opinion. I am confident that the quote in her signature line is fact based. People are less than kind in their responses all the time. Some people have cuddly personalities others are abrasive. I think she is a good contributor and her speaking her mind was not ban worthy.

Right there in the title. Little green men from Mars might be shooting cancer rays into us, but probably are not.

The title is from a commentary published on medicaldaily.com.

Here is the press release from the University of California Riverside:

New UC Riverside research shows soybean oil not only leads to obesity and diabetes, but could also affect neurological conditions like autism, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, and depression.

Used for fast food frying, added to packaged foods, and fed to livestock, soybean oil is by far the most widely produced and consumed edible oil in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In all likelihood, it is not healthy for humans.

It certainly is not good for mice. The new study, published this month in the journal Endocrinology, compared mice fed three different diets high in fat: soybean oil, soybean oil modified to be low in linoleic acid, and coconut oil.

The same UCR research team found in 2015 that soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Then in a 2017 study, the same group learned that if soybean oil is engineered to be low in linoleic acid, it induces less obesity and insulin resistance.

You don't like MSG? You're just a foul racist.

Yeah that's me, a foul racist.

That is the way they try to take our first amendment rights by calling EVERYTHING racists.

I hope those are temp bans.
