Lecithin is our friend.

[Guest guest]

Lecithin, rich in the bile, breaks down fat into small droplets and keeps all

cholesterol soluble and mobile. Lecithin prevents and literally dissolves gall

and kidney stones. Important for GB patients? OH, YES.

Lecithin also keeps cholesterol solvent in the blood vessels, it helps the liver

detoxify poisons and carcinogens, fuels the thymus gland (immune T-killer

cells), helps make prostaglandins, and supplies choline to the brain and other

organs. It's an edible (all essential fatty acids) detergent that emulsifies our

fat. Few nutrients do more or are more crucial for GB patients to eat in their

diet.

Lecithin is from the Greek word for Egg Yolk, which is where you should get it.

It's also found in meat and dairy butterfat. Many grains, including the

soybean have small quantities of it but the grain versions are of lesser quality

and harder to store.

You want to get your lecithin from your DIET, and the best dietary lecithin is

from free-range organic EGGS (never eat factory eggs--bad lecithin!),

grass-fed MEAT, and grass-fed BUTTER. These foods contain lecithin in the

form that is mostly the triple-strength version (phosphotidyl choline) and it

does not easily become rancid like the soy lecithin which has too high a ratio

of linolenic acid to be shelf stable. Anything that goes rancid is toxic.

In addition to 90% of the US soybean production being GMO now (an

ecological nightmare),--- you don't want to eat GM organisms--- soybeans

have other serious anti-health properties, such as all the anti-nutritive,

anti-digestion factors such as trypsin-inhibitors, soybeans contain major

thyroid-toxic phytochemicals that kill your thyroid, and soybeans are loaded

with breast-cancer causing, PMS-aggravating phyto-estrogens-isoflavones

(bad for men too). Fermented soybeans are the only safe and healthy form. If

your babies are on soy-based formula get them off of it.

Unfortunately, and ironically, soy products are hurting many of those who are

trying to eat healthier, especially vegetarians. If you eat it, get off the soy

milk,

tofu soy nuts, soy protein products, as well as the soy lecithin, and get

yourself onto the grass-fed eggs, butter and meat. Again, NOT

factory-produced, grocery-store versions, go real. (visit the

Alert! page).
