Evidence Summary

Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted from soybeans and is one of the most widely consumed dietary fats. It is rich in linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid that the body cannot make on its own. One small crossover trial found that consuming 30 g per day of soybean oil for 4 weeks increased linoleic acid levels in blood plasma and red blood cells compared to palm oil, without causing weight gain.
