Interesting study, thanks for the link. Yes, it's a mouse study, which proves nothing on the human side other than being a sign that human studies must be conducted.
Quote:
The same UCR research team found in 2015 that soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Then in a 2017 study, the same group learned that if soybean oil is engineered to be low in linoleic acid, it induces less obesity and insulin resistance.

This is something everyone should be aware of, and the idea that we can further "engineer" a healthier oil is a statement that should catch the attention of everyone pursuing a healthy lifestyle through diet.
Quote:
"The dogma is that saturated fat is bad and unsaturated fat is good. Soybean oil is a polyunsaturated fat, but the idea that it's good for you is just not proven," Sladek said.
Indeed, coconut oil, which contains saturated fats, produced very few changes in the hypothalamic genes."

Useful to develop a hypothesis about which fats may be healthy or unhealthy for humans to be confirmed with further testing. Any "engineered" fat is a suspect for me.
