The market shelf is packed with a variety of cooking oils, but not all contain the right balance of beneficial fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins required to guarantee optimum health. As a consumer, making the decision on the right type of oil to use can be difficult when you do not have all the facts or have been constantly misled by false advertising by various vegetable oil brands.
When choosing an edible oil brand, it is important to ensure that the benefit of the brand is all-encompassing like soya bean oil. Beyond being healthier than other “healthy” vegetable oils due to its good variety of essential fatty acids, the vitamin and mineral content of soya bean rounds out the healthy aspects of this delicious and widely useful legume. Now, let’s take a closer look at some of the health benefits of soya bean oil.
Mama Francesca Edozie, a 67-year-old retiree in Lagos, switched to soya bean oil some years ago and she has not looked back. “Life has been beautiful. I’ve felt healthier and my doctors remain amazed by the effect on me,” she said. “I no longer worry about standing for too long in church and I even enjoy all the things my children used to warn me against eating. They too have seen the light. All of us in my family, including my grandkids, use soya bean oil. I advise anyone who hasn’t switched to soya bean oil, particularly Golden Terra soya oil, to do so.”
Her son, Obinna, also recommended soya bean oil. The civil servant confessed that his immediate family used to prepare their meals with Palm Olein every day until a year ago. As soon as he and his siblings started seeing the physical effect on their mother’s bone strength and radiant skin, he knew it was time to join her.
