Excerpts from article:
...The research team discovered nearly 100 genes - including the 'love hormone' oxytocin produced in hypothalamus - affected by the soybean oil diet.
..."But they have ruled out two candidates. It is not linoleic acid, since the modified oil also produced genetic disruptions; nor is it stigmasterol, a cholesterol-like chemical found naturally in soybean oil," the study noted.
...The team 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 research team found in 2015 that soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice.
...The team said the findings only apply to soybean oil - not to other soy products or to other vegetable oils.
