Soybean oil FAQ
Table of Contents
Is soybean oil gluten-free?
Yes, soybean oil is gluten-free. Gluten is a type of protein that is found in certain grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. It is not present in soybean oil, which is made from the fat of soybeans.
Is soybean oil low FODMAP?
Soybean oil should be low in FODMAPs as the FODMAP components are carbohydrates and soybean oil is purely made of fats. FODMAPs are a category of carbohydrates that some people find hard to digest.
Does soybean oil contain protein?
No, soybean oil does not contain protein. It is composed almost entirely of fat. While soybeans themselves are a good source of protein, the oil extracted from them is not.
Is soybean oil high in cholesterol?
No, soybean oil does not contain cholesterol. Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in animal products, such as meat, dairy, and eggs, and soybeans are plants. Therefore, soybean oil, like all vegetable oils, contains no cholesterol. It is recommended that an individual should consume less than 300 mg of cholesterol per day, so soybean oil would not contribute to your daily cholesterol intake.
Is soybean oil high in saturated fat?
Soybean oil does contain saturated fat, but it might not be considered high, especially in comparison to other oils. One tablespoon of soybean oil contains about 2 grams of saturated fat. For reference, the American Heart Association recommends limiting daily saturated fat intake to less than 13 grams. So, a tablespoon of soybean oil represents roughly 15% of the recommended maximum daily amount.
Does soybean oil contain estrogen?
Soybeans are known to contain plant compounds called isoflavones, which can mimic the effect of estrogen in the body. However, these compounds are virtually removed during the refining process involved in making soybean oil. So, it's accurate to say that soybean oil contains negligible amounts of isoflavones, the estrogen-like compounds.
Does soybean oil decrease testosterone?
While some studies suggest that diets high in soy could potentially lower testosterone levels, these primarily refer to whole soy foods and supplements containing isoflavones. Similar to the previous question, the refining process of making soybean oil removes nearly all isoflavones. Therefore, consuming typical amounts of soybean oil is unlikely to have a significant effect on testosterone levels. More high-quality human research is needed to confirm these effects.
