helping to drive up obesity rates<\/a>. A lot of these foods contain excess calories, and soybean oil contributes a hefty amount of calories to the average American\u2019s diet. This is not to say that soybean oil is the sole cause of obesity in the world; rather, it plays a role.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe more important takeaway is that soybean oil consumption can lead to an unhealthy ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-6s are beneficial for the body, but omega-6s are pro-inflammatory, meaning that an overabundance of omega-6s in the body causes it to be in a constant inflammatory state. This leads to chronic inflammation, which is a risk factor for a variety of illnesses. Omega-6s aren\u2019t unique to soybean oil. Other unhealthy oils have the same problems, but soybean oil is just much more present in the foods we eat.<\/p>\n
