"This week, Minnesota biotech firm Calyxt announced the first commercial gene-edited product on the US market – a soybean oil “for frying and salad dressing, as well as sauce applications.”

It boasts that the oil contains less saturated fatty acids, no trans fats, and can keep three times as long without going rancid."

"This might seem like paranoia, but there are other signs of reticence from Calyxt. In its actual press release, where it said that its oil will also be sold as a “premium feed ingredient with added benefit for livestock,” it mentions on three separate occasions that its soybean oil is “non-GMO.”"

As if saturated fat was a huge problem in soybean oil...
How do they keep it from going rancid, i wonder, when it's largely pufa, and pufas go rancid so quickly. Would it still be unstable like other oils after consumption?

Gene-edited Soybean Oil Touted as Non-GMO

Higher Oleic Acid Oil so it’s more monosaturated even though oleic acid is an omega 9. Makes the oil more like olive oil so I think compared to regular soybean oil this might be less toxic. One day they might be able to modify these plants to make saturated fat hahaha
Still sounds kinda sketchy to play god all the time. Humans done that way to many times and it alwas backfire. Why do we feel we need these oils so bad.

Adverse effects also have been documented, however, since both oleic and monounsaturated fatty acid levels in the membranes of red blood cells have been associated with increased risk of breast cancer,[29]

This is just a copy paste from wikipedia. This clearly states oleic acid being estrogenic probably so by acting like PUFA

Thanks for letting us know about this. Definitely sounds suspicious to me. And unnatural.
