Consuming seed oils such as soybean and canola oil causes obesity.

CONTESTED PARTIAL

Is it true that consuming seed oils such as soybean and canola oil causes obesity?
Partly. One meta-analytic report associates canola oil intake with weight reduction rather than weight gain, while a 2025 hypothesis paper proposes that refined seed oils may promote insulin resistance, a pathway linked to metabolic disease. Neither source directly settles whether consuming soybean or canola oil causes obesity.
