I didn’t know about linoleic acid although I had heard that the manufactured vegetable oils like corn and especially soy and canola, because of their GMO content cause inflammation. I cook with coconut oil, beef tallow, or lard from pastured animals which are not fed soy. The article claims that sugar does not cause inflammation which surprises me.

These questions are important. “So if we suppose that it’s not saturated fat that causes heart disease, what could it be? Could one cause possibly be the rise in industrial oils? Or perhaps the increase in sugar usage? Or even some factor that all these studies have not identified?”

For what it’s worth, I’d say heart disease arises when mineral intake is low and/or out of balance and when inflammation is induced through excessive linoleic acid added sugars intake. Both added sugars and separated fats dilute mineral intake. However, only linoleic acid induces inflammation.
