Does this analysis include industrial use of oils? Lots of different oils are used in hand and face creams and in animal feed products. I have not seen soybean oil on the grocery shelves. As far as US cooking oils for the general consumer, I think that canola and olive oils are the most popular.

good question. the data is only for human consumption, but there might be oils added to processed foods

"Soybean oil is extensively used in the food manufacturing industry as an ingredient in various processed foods. It serves as a base for margarine, mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, snack foods, baked goods, and many other products"

But the impression given from the video is that people cook with it. While soybean oil may be used by the food industry to flavor packaged food, it is not used in the average American's kitchen.
