This article needs a better introduction. Now that's it been split from soybean, the intro doesn't make much sense. I added a summary to soybean#oil as required by WP:MOS. If you come up with a good summary intro, please update soybean#oil accordingly. -- UncleDouggie ( talk) 09:31, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
I do think so and A table containing Nutritional point of view is very much needed for soybean oil title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.70.74.163 ( talk) 06:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
CNN just had a clown on complaining about how awful for your health soybean oil was and how much better sunflower oil is. Came here and saw big tables of multiple oils and multiple different oils and fats in them with quantities...and took away absolutely no idea as to what all these things mean. Stay away from saturated...I guess...but soybean seemed like one of the better oils. Needs some light discussion of each column.

Something on history would be good - don't have time to write it but I found this: http://www.soyinfocenter.com/HSS/soybean_crushing1.php
I was listening to someone on a podcast claim that seed oils are a new thing, but that link says there are mentions of soy oil from the 11th C in China. -- Chriswaterguy talk 18:49, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
I wonder why the values in the chart are given with three decimals. Variations between natural products will easily be much larger, so any decimals will just be misleading and make the chart too complex. -- Sasper ( talk) 10:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC) Totally agree, it should also be easier to find the unit (%) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.214.151.165 ( talk) 18:38, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

It appears someone added a laundry list of possible risks from eating soybean oil to the section mentioned. However, I'm not too happy with the quality of the references provided; one is to a blog with no sources cited, the other is to an organization whose apparent stated purpose is cow's milk advocacy (which is only tangentially related to soybean oil by way of soy milk). It also looks like it may have been pasted in from someplace, given the haphazard formatting. Is it safe to remove this? -lee ( talk) 03:09, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Report on Carcinogens, Twelfth Edition (2011) N‐Nitrosodi-n-butylamine has been measured in soybean oil at a concentration of 290 μg/kg, in cheese at 20 to 30 μg/kg, and in smoked or cured meats at up to 3.9 μg/kg. It has also been detected in tobacco smoke at a concentration of 3 ng per cigarette.

Soybean oil is notable as an adulterant to substitute for more expensive oils (i.e. in peanut butter, olive oil, rapeseed oil, some chocolates, etc). Papers about inspection and detection methods also exist. Perhaps that a subsection about this would be interesting... — Paleo Neonate – 14:28, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
