Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is pervasive in the standard  American diet. Foods like fried chicken, French fries, doughnuts, cookies and  crackers are made with partially hydrogenated soybean oil, which is loaded with  trans fatty acids known to clog arteries.
These trans fats not only  increase blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) but also  destroy good high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, welcoming heart  conditions and type 2 diabetes.

Genetically engineered soy making matters worse
To make matters worse,  approximately 90 percent of soy grown on US soil is genetically engineered.  Designed to be “Roundup Ready,” GE soy is engineered to survive lethal amounts  of chemical herbicide. In an attempt to decrease the cost of production,  companies like Monsanto ignore the health consequences that genetically altered  seeds pose to the human body. The terminator soy plant is designed to  survive herbicide chemicals, but, when it’s fed to mammals, it’s not recognized  as natural. Infertility is one of the health consequences of GE soy, as studied  in second-generation hamsters. In one comprehensive study, hamsters raised on GE  soybeans possessed a five-fold higher infant mortality rate!
Further, the  glyphosate-soaked soybean crop goes into the human body and poisons it.  (Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup.) The glyphosate is  introduced into the human gut and decimates beneficial gut bacteria. This  negatively affects the immune system and also blocks natural detoxification of  cells.
All in all, soybean oil, especially  genetically modified soy, has been a danger to the human population.
That  is, until now.
Researchers working with Goodyear have found a way to use  soybean oil in the manufacture of their tires, effectively reducing petroleum  consumption.

Goodyear puts soybean oil to better use
Goodyear is certainly moving in  the right direction with new technology that allows soybean oil to replace  petroleum for tire manufacture. While reducing petroleum consumption and  benefitting the environment, Goodyear also makes better use of soybean oil.
(Maybe  soybeans will be realized as a better fit for tires than human  consumption.)
Goodyear states that soybean oil may be “a magic bullet,”  because it blends better with…
