Soybean Oil
Very Bad

Soybean oil is a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. It is often extracted using high heat and chemical solvents, which can degrade its nutritional quality. Compared to healthier oils like olive or avocado oil, soybean oil is less beneficial due to its processing and fatty acid profile.

Risks

High omega-6 content may promote inflammation and contribute to an imbalance in the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in the diet.
