Unsaturated fats in the form of vegetable oils, on the other hand, have been used to promote cancer in animal and mouse models for decades.17Unsaturated fats often contain free radicals that can produce oxidative damage after consumption, which, in some cases, can impact lethal damage upon cells or DNA. This can lead to cancer.18

This has been shown to be the case in animal studies, when a switch from saturated to unsaturated fats in mice resulted in an increase in cancer rates.19 In fact, corn oil was a favorite dietary intervention in some of the older cancer studies due to its exquisite ability to promote cancer during animal experiments.20

Furthermore, randomized studies in humans have supported this link, as multiple randomized studies revealed increases in cancer deaths and reduction in survival within groups consuming higher amounts of vegetable oil.21
