The Claim

Higher consumption of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils (sunflower, corn, canola, soybean, and olive oil) is associated with significantly lower levels of systemic inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (23% lower), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (29% lower), serum amyloid A (24% lower), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (19% lower), in women aged 40–60 years.

In plain English

Women aged 40–60 who consume more non-hydrogenated vegetable oils such as sunflower, corn, canola, soybean, and olive oil have lower levels of C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, serum amyloid A, and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 compared to those who consume less.

See the scientific wording

Higher consumption of non-hydrogenated vegetable oils (sunflower, corn, canola, soybean, and olive oil) is associated with significantly lower levels of systemic inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (23% lower), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (29% lower), serum amyloid A (24% lower), and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (19% lower), in women aged 40–60 years, suggesting a potential protective role against chronic inflammation.

Why this might work

When people eat more vegetable oils like sunflower, canola, and olive oil instead of saturated fats, their bodies make fewer molecules that trigger inflammation. These oils provide fats that change how immune cells behave, leading to less signaling that draws in inflammatory cells and lowers the production of inflammation markers in the blood.

  1. Study: Home use of vegetable oils, markers of systemic inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction among women.

    Women who ate more everyday cooking oils like olive or canola had significantly lower levels of inflammation markers in their blood compared to those who ate less — suggesting these oils may help reduce body-wide inflammation.
