We know that if you eat more linoleic acid in seed oils or unfortunately, the fat of chicken and pork that's been fed corn and soy, but I think most people are not eating an exclusively bacon diet, but you could get a moderate amount of linoleic acid if all you ate was bacon and you ate all the bacon fat because the bacon is fed corn and soy. But if you eat more linoleic acid, most people are getting most of their linoleic acid, this omega-6 18 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid from seed oils corn canola sunflower safflower, soybean, etc. Then then there's more linoleic acid in the cells of your body and there's more linoleic acid in your LDL.
