Soybean oil

Soybean oil is a common type of cooking oil that’s been associated with several health benefits.

In particular, it may help:

• promote skin health
• reduce cholesterol levels
• prevent bone loss
• provide important omega-3 fatty acids

What’s more, it has a high smoke point and neutral flavor, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of recipes as part of a healthy diet.

However, keep in mind that soybean oil is high in omega-6 fats and may have negative effects on health when consumed in large amounts.

For this reason, it’s best not to rely on soybean oil as your only source of fat. Instead, include a variety of healthy fats in your diet, including fatty fish, nuts, seeds, avocado, and coconut, for the right balance.
