A team of researchers at the University of California – Riverside (UCR), US have recently examined and found that three high-fat diets heighten the expression of ACE2 and other host proteins, used by spike proteins of COVID-causing viruses to gain entry into the body. The team had previously linked soybean oil-based diets to obesity and diabetes, both of which have been studied to be major risk factors for COVID.High fat diets linked to increased risk of COVID
