Original Note:
The article makes misleading claims. The study DIDN'T show that cooking oils cause colon cancer: https://science.feedback.org/review/no-study-didnt-find-seed-oils-fuel-explosion-colon-cancers-young-people/ https://www.cancer.org.au/iheard/can-vegetable-seed-oils-cause-cancer The researchers examined tumor samples, but DIDN'T directly study the effects of seed oils or cooking oils on cancer development: https://www.prevention.com/health/a63203509/seed-oils-colon-cancer-risk-study/ What the Study Actually Found: https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2024/12/10/new-usf-study-shows-how-junk-food-may-be-feeding-cancerous-colon-tumors/ https://www.yahoo.com/news/cooking-oil-linked-colon-cancer-224836727.html https://www.prevention.com/health/a63203509/seed-oils-colon-cancer-risk-study/ Bias: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/news-punch/ https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/rfk-jr-vindicated-as-scientists-confirm-cooking-oils-cause-colon-cancer/
