What science says

compound effect

“The fatty-acid composition of rat heart phospholipids was examined after long-term, i.e. more than 12 months, feeding of diets supplemented with n-6 fatty acids as sunflower seed oil (SSO), or n-3 fatty acids as tuna fish oil (TFO) which is a particularly rich source of docosahexenoic acid (DHA).”

compound effect

“It can be concluded that nucleation of sunflower seed oil is a fast process and initially needs low supercooling.”

compound effect

“Feeding protected tallow or maize oil but not protected sunflower seed oil plus soybean oil resulted in reduced rates of fatty acid biosynthesis in both perirenal and subcutaneous adipose tissue slices and CO2 formation in perirenal adipose tissue.”

compound effect

“Rats fed diets containing mixtures of 3% sunflower seed oil and 17% of either tallow or coconut oil developed twice as many tumors as those fed 3% sunflower seed oil or 20% of either saturated fat alone.”
