The Claim
In healthy adults in the United States, habitual dietary intake of α-linolenic acid (an n-3 fatty acid) and cis-linoleic acid (an n-6 fatty acid) is not significantly associated with plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, or soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating certain types of healthy fats—like those found in nuts and seeds—doesn’t seem to change levels of inflammation in the blood of healthy American adults.

In healthy US adults, habitual dietary intake of α-linolenic acid (an n-3 fatty acid) and cis-linoleic acid (an n-6 fatty acid) is not significantly associated with plasma levels of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, or soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at the same fats and the same inflammation markers mentioned in the claim and found no strong link, just like the claim says.
