Soyabean Oil:
Soya oil has found a home in many commercial food products, from salad dressing to baked goods. While it beneficial in many ways, it should not be over-consumed because it still adds fat to your diet. As a plant food, soya is low in saturated fat (about 15 percent). Of the polyunsaturated fat in soya oil, about half is linoleic acid, a fatty acid we need in small but significant amounts. In addition, soya oil contains an important and beneficial fatty acid, linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid found primarily in fish oils. Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to be helpful in preventing heart disease. Soya oil is about percent linolenic acid, making it an important source for vegetarians and others who do not consume fish.
