| Core Tip |
Industrial seed-oil boom has tripled linoleic acid (LA) intake since 1900, tracking the surge in cancer. This review synthesizes cutting-edge data showing how excess LA seeds oxidative lipid peroxidation, succinate-driven pseudohypoxia, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal-inflammatory amplification and gut dysbiosis that together create a “pro-cancer terrain”. It also challenges blanket ketogenic prescriptions, warning that carb exclusion can worsen LA-induced dysbiosis, and outlines a phased “terrain-restoration” plan: Slash dietary LA, reintroduce selective fibers, add odd-chain pentadecanoic acid and metabolic supports to revive mitophagy, microbiota and immune surveillance. The article spotlights urgent research gaps and testable clinical strategies. |
