Palm oil is higher in saturated fat, and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Soybean oil is primarily composed of polyunsaturated fats. JECFA has evaluated both palm oil and soybean oil. As with all fats and oils, they are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
