Note that while olive oil, which has been shown to be protective against HER2 - overexpressing breast cancer, also contains a high proportion of
oleic acid, the protective effect of olive oil is thought to be due to olive lignans and secoiridoids
rather than
oleic acid.
Almond oil's high concentration of
oleic acid is also heart healthy, and can lower inflammation,
rather than the omega 6 mayhem of soybean oil.
