Soybean
oil is the natural inexpensive oil extracted from whole
soybeans. It is the most widely used oil in the World,
and is sold as either pure soybean oil or as a main
ingredient in vegetable oil. Processed into margarine
and shortenings, soybean oil's 85 percent unsaturated
fat profile is among the highest of the vegetable oils.
Soybean oil contains 61% polyunsaturated fat and 24%
monounsaturated fat. Saturated fats in the diet can
raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of
heart disease. So healthcare professionals recommend
replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats as much
as possible
