After 4 years of Health Canada’s Food Directorate claiming that polyunsaturated vegetable oils can help prevent heart disease, scientists in Toronto have now discovered that, unlike omega-3 linolenic acids, the omega-6 linolenic acids dominant in vegetable oils do not promote beneficial health effects. In addition, tests have indicated that there is an increase in the risk of death due to this acid. Scientists have thus concluded that people should reduce their intake of vegetable oil, and try to increase the amount of omega-3 linolenic acid in their diet.
