Is it true that dietary seed oils such as soybean and canola oil increase systemic inflammation in humans?
No. A 2026 scoping review of the human literature concludes that claims linking seed oils and linoleic acid to increased inflammation are without foundation, and a small 4-week randomized crossover trial found soybean-oil snacks did not significantly alter systemic inflammation biomarkers in overweight adults.
