I saw once that it takes 13 ears of corn to produce 1 teaspoon of corn oil. The bottom line is that all fats and oils contain the same number of calories--about 100 per Tablespoon.

Vegetable oil is a generic term that does cover the above sources and others as well, and for various reasons, does NOT include oils like OLIVE OIL, and for obvious reasons is meant to be distinguished from such products as MINERAL OIL or anything else we surely wouldn't want to be eating.
