Linoleic acid has been associated with numerous ailments, including cancer. When I was being treated for prostate cancer, I read numerous sources - including fairly mainstream, not just alternative, ones - saying linoleic acid appeared to quicken cancer growth. On the other hand, a variety of studies indicated conjugated linoleic slowed and even reversed cancer. So there are many reasons for limiting linoleic acid intake. The rather sad irony is that many food makers are replacing hydrogenated oils with standard oils, eliminating one serious problem but doing nothing about the other.
