But the team DID note that "the SO + CO diet caused more weight gain over the 16-week study than the other HFD" (As opposed to the modified soybean diet). This is a quote from the paper, not the article.

According to the paper the Linoleic acid composition of the oils in question are:

    soybean:     %52.90
    modified SO:  %7.42  (aka plenish)
    coconut:      %0.06

So while some of the genetic expressions may exist in both, both have LA, and the higher LA = higher obesity according to the paper authors (they did not give a graphic for the obesity differences, unfortunately)
