 The major component of crude soybean oil is the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid (about 50%), with about 23% oleic acid, 11% palmitic acid, and 7% of the omega-3 fatty acid, linolenic acid.

 Soy is also a major dietary source of phytosterols, in particular b-sitosterol.

 Dietary phytosterol intake varies greatly between populations; the typical western diet provides about 80 mg per day, compared with vegetarian diets, which typically provide about 400 and 345 mg per day, respectively.

 Phytosterols are not absorbed to any significant degree, but inhibit the absorption of cholesterol from the digestive tract.
