A study has linked linoleic acid — a fat found in many everyday oils — with aggressive breast cancer, reigniting the debate about how our diets affect our health.

oleic acid is an omega-9 fatty acid. (C) This is linoleic acid. To simplify larger molecules scientists often use line-angle drawings. In these drawings, every line is a bond and every bend is a ...

Linolenic and linoleic fatty acids contain long carbon chains of 18 carbons each, but other fatty acids of similar size, such as steric acid and oleic acid, cannot replace them. These "essential ...

The study, published in Science in March, shows that linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid most prevalent in vegetable and seed oils, may promote the growth of an aggressive subtype of breast ...

Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in seed oils such as soybean and safflower oil, and animal products including pork and eggs, specifically enhances the growth of the hard-to-treat "triple ...
