Certain oils, particularly those high in saturated and trans fats, may increase cancer risk and should be consumed in moderation or avoided:
- Palm oil: Often used in processed foods, palm oil is high in saturated fats, which can contribute to increased cholesterol levels and inflammation, potentially raising cancer risk.
- Hydrogenated oils: These oils contain trans fats, which have been associated with a higher risk of various health issues, including heart disease and certain cancers.
- Corn oil: High in omega-6 fatty acids, overconsumption of corn oil may lead to an imbalance in the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, promoting inflammation and potentially increasing cancer risk.
