* Very limited and preliminary scientific evidence suggests that consuming about 1 tablespoon (16 grams) of corn oil daily may reduce the risk of heart disease due to the unsaturated fat content in corn oil. The FDA concludes that there is little scientific evidence to support this claim. To achieve this potential benefit, corn oil is intended to replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of calories you eat in a day.
