Question 1

is soybean oil the same as soybeans in which it would be bad to eat if you have kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

See below: Soya beans are high in protein, which can lead to formation of stones. Soya bean oil is fat and should be ok to take in kidney stones. In general be careful with amount of fats for other health reasons.

Question 2

is there a formula milk for babies with out soy based, soy lecithin, soy bean oil?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Alimentum and nutramigen are the first two that are readily available that come to mind. They are a bit more expensive, but very easy to digest and no soy anything. They don't taste as good, so if the baby scoffs at eating them, can put one drop of vanilla in the entire bottle to flavor.

Question 3

is soybean oil considered a healthy oil?

Accepted Answer

No: Soybean oil is problematic for a couple of reasons.  One is that soybean crops are frequently genetically modified, and there may be health risks there.  Additionally, most mass-produced soybean oil is partially hydrogenated to increase shelf life . . . And this process also yields trans fats which are unhealthy for you in many ways.  http://tinyurl.com/avt7hol.

Question 4

is interesterified soybean oil bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Probably not good: See: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/interesterified_fat. Big known issues are Trans vs. Cis fats. Living creatures only create Cis-fats; industrial hydrogenation 1/2 Trans, 1/2 Cis. The larger issue: are humans well adapted to use newly modified forms of food molecules which may commonly take hundreds/thousands of generations to successfully adapt to? Probably Not! Look up Paleo; Loren Cordain.

Question 5

is soybean oil healthy? (like the ones found in commercial sandwiches)

Accepted Answer

Soybean oil: Soybean oil can be healthy as long as it is organic and not hydrogenated

Question 6

what is hydrogenated soybean oil?

Accepted Answer

A bad processed fat.: Soybean oil that is hydrogenated is a cheap fat that is often used in processed foods. It is a "highly saturated" fat, which, along with trans fats, are leading culprit in the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease. We all must avoid these oils and use  fats such as omega-3 oils found in fish, or olive oil--which has recently been shown to prolong life as part of the mediterranean diet.

Question 7

what is "partially hydrogenated soybean oil"?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogenation: Soybean oil is too unstable to be used in manufacturing, so companies "hydrogenate" it [forcing hydrogen gas into it at high pressure) to extend its shelf life.  Voila -- partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Unfortunately this process also makes trans fats -- not good for your heart or blood vessels.  Partially hydrogenated anything will contain trans fats.  http://tinyurl.com/avt7hol.

Question 8

which oil is better for health, safflower or soybean?

Accepted Answer

Safflower: If you are looking for unsaturated fats then safflower is best.  Compare yourself:

Question 9

what do you think of highly processed oils, like canola oil, corn oil, and soybean oil?

Accepted Answer

Oils.: I like them but in moderation. Olive oil is best it appears.

Question 10

are foods cooked in soybean oil bad for men? i heard soy products are not good for men.  same for soybean oil? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Too much is no good: Soy products have been dietary staples in asia for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Soy can contain compounds that affect thyroid function, and can be mildly estrogenic. Excessive intake, especially of processed soy products, e.g. Texturized soy protein, as opposed to natural sources like edamames, tofu, tempeh, could conceivably be a problem; mostly not. Soy oil doesn't have those chemicls.
