CARNIVORE AURELIUS: Soybean oil, the most widely consumed oil in the USA, destroys the gene that produces oxytocin, the love and bonding hormone

Rusty Sashwaite adds,

Soybean oil ... destroys the gene that produces oxytocin"

Would you clarify a point? Does it a) mutate the gene, or b) attach to the gene downregulating it (aka epigenetic modification)?

Armo replies, 

Oxytocin is not so simple one way transmitter.

Robert Sapolsky has done great work on this and other behavioral biology.

To paraphrase:

Oxytocin doesn't just facilitate our sense of belonging but also our aversion towards those on the outside.
