CNN —The food you eat may be affecting your body’s ability to fight cancer cells in the colon, according to a new study. The potential culprit: an overabundance of certain omega-6 fatty acids — perhaps from ultraprocessed foods in your diet — that may hinder the anti-inflammatory and tumor-fighting properties of another essential fatty acid, omega-3. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. “It’s a leap to say that omega-6s from ultraprocessed foods are the cause. Many ultraprocessed foods are made with soybean and other vegetable oils that contain higer levels of omega-6 fatty acids.

A new study offers more evidence linking cancer to inflammation from diets high in processed foods. Ultra-processed foods may be fueling a rise in colon cancer cases — but healthy foods could unlock new ways to prevent or treat the disease, new research suggests. The research team found that tumor samples contained a high proportion of these inflammation-causing compounds compared to healthy tissue. AdvertisementPrevious evidence has linked increased inflammation to diets high in processed food like chips, sausages, packaged desserts, and refined carbs. "Our bodies are designed to actively resolve inflammation through bioactive lipid compounds derived from the healthy fats, like avocados, that we consume."
