Seed oils and cancer
High intake of omega-6 PUFAs is implicated in cancer of the breast, colon and, possibly, prostate
Omega-3 PUFAs and monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid (omega-9) are protective.

Mammary tumorigenesis [in mice] was very sensitive to linoleate [seed oils' main component] intake and increased proportionately in the range of 0.5 to 4.4% of dietary linoleate.

Most Americans consume enough seed oils that they're above a plateau in cancer causation. In other words, they're exposed to the maximum cancer-promoting amount.
This may be why associational studies are inconclusive: almost no one consumes a low level of linoleic acid

"Linoleic acid (LA), an essential n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), was identified as an agent in dietary fat that is responsible for an up-regulation of tumor growth in vivo."
