Exploring the science of seed oils

The soybean industry has been in the news a LOT in recent months, and unfortunately, there has been very little — if any — good news for growers. On top of the tariff situation and the April tornadoes and flooding that many farmers are dealing with, everyone from restaurant chains to the national media and self-proclaimed “influencers” have been slamming seed oils.

As is often the case, they don’t have the facts, or perhaps they DO have the facts, and they just don’t care. Fortunately, the volunteer farmer-leaders of the United Soybean Board had the foresight back in 2004 to create an entity then known as the Soy Nutrition Institute (rebranded in 2021 as SNI Global) to serve as a credible, science-based resource on soy and soy nutrition.
