THE SKIN CANCER LIE

THE SKIN CANCER LIE

A 1988 Australian study found something interesting. Two groups of hairless mice were given the same calories and the same UV exposure. As he puts it, “the only difference was the type of fat they ate.”

The mice eating seed oils, the same oils in most processed foods, “started to develop skin tumors after UV exposure.” At the same time, “the mice eating saturated fat like butter were completely fine. Same UV light but no tumors.”

And when researchers switched the protected mice over to seed oils, he says “tumors started showing up.” His summary is blunt: “seed oils plus sun equals tumors.”
