What is soybean oil traditionally called in the US? I've never actually seen "soybean oil" myself (though it surely exists). Is this the same as "vegetable oil"?
Yes vegetable oil is usually soybean in my experience, check the ingredients.

#32TLDR; I spent way too long thinking about this in the short time I looked at it. I still want to post my rambling but at the same time take it all with a good dash of salt. That title though. Why does the UoC feel the need to use clickbait titles? I guess it becomes a mouthful when it is "America's most consumed cooking oil, which is soybean oil, causes genetic changes in the brain." But my first though is ... I've n…
Yes, vegetable oil is typically soybean oil.
I went to the kitchen just now. Damn. So vegetable oils OTHER than soybean oil is fine for mice.

I believe you're right. Most (if not all) of the "vegetable oil" I've encountered has been soy bean oil.

#34Soybean oil the most widely consumed? I would never have guessed. Figured canola would be.
It's not even close. Soybean oil is like 4-5x the consumption volume as canola.
Which makes sense if you've ever seen rural Midwest. So much soybean, everywhere.

#35I'm not obese. I have a family history of obesity. On the contrary, I am a bit underweight, and I have tried very hard to gain weight and have never managed to accomplish much. What are obese people eating that I'm not eating? What foods are high in soybean oil?
You can start with fried items from McDonald's:

#36I went all carnivore 15 months ago, and a side effect of that is the removal of all seed oils from the diet. The results include complete remission of my diabetes and associated fatigue and brain fog, the loss of more than 60 excess pounds, greater joy of life and emotional stability, and a new, regular desire to exercise and move my body.
I don't know how much of that is about cutting out seed oils. I am getting large amounts of butter and tallow in my diet.

Usually. Vegetable oil almost always contains soy oil, but it can be a medley of soy and other oils, or other oils entirely. It’s safe to assume though that any bottle of vegetable oil you see is all or mostly soy.

#39> The same UC Riverside research team found in 2015 that soybean oil induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance, and fatty liver in mice. Then in a 2017 study, the same group learned that if soybean oil is engineered to be low in linoleic acid, it induces less obesity and insulin resistance. > “The hypothalamus regulates body weight via your metabolism, maintains body temperature, is critical for reproduction and…

I saw this video about seed oils a few months back.[1] Some of the information there tracked stuff I have been reading for a while. Decided to switch over completely to coconut oil and ghee (clarified butter).
A comment on the video that matches my view on the subject:

#40Result of designing the food supply chain for manufacturer convenience and profit, instead of health of the people.
Yeah, but it's the "free market" so we're all supposed to cheer at new products and boo at regulations.
