Frequently Asked Questions
What does research say about soya oil and heart health?
Multiple clinical studies show that replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats from soya oil reduces LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk. The phytosterols in cold press soya oil block cholesterol absorption. The FDA has approved a health claim for soya protein and heart disease risk reduction based on this evidence.
Does soya oil increase or decrease cholesterol?
Cold press soya oil decreases LDL (bad) cholesterol through two mechanisms: its polyunsaturated fatty acids replace saturated fats that raise LDL, and its phytosterols directly block cholesterol absorption in the intestine. It may slightly decrease HDL (good) cholesterol as well, which is a consideration for people with already low HDL levels.
Is soya oil better than sunflower oil for heart health?
Cold press soya oil is significantly better than refined sunflower oil for heart health. Soya oil has a much better Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio (7:1 versus sunflower oil's 40:1), contains phytosterols that sunflower oil lacks, and provides Vitamin K which sunflower oil does not. Refined sunflower oil's extreme Omega-6 dominance promotes inflammation with regular use.
Can soya oil help reduce triglycerides?
Cold press soya oil's Omega-3 ALA content has been shown to modestly reduce triglyceride levels. However, the effect is smaller than that of fish oil EPA and DHA. For people with high triglycerides, combining cold press soya oil with other Omega-3 sources (flaxseed, walnuts, or algae supplements) provides better results.
How long does it take to see cholesterol benefits from switching to soya oil?
Studies show measurable LDL cholesterol reductions within 4 to 8 weeks of replacing saturated fat sources with polyunsaturated oils like cold press soya oil. The effect is most pronounced when replacing butter, ghee, or coconut oil rather than other vegetable oils.
