avoiding soy lecithin ??

[Guest guest]

I posted this back in February. if you have an allergy to Soy, then the

sunflower is your only safe option. I'd like to say eating loads of eggs will

do it, but from personal experience it is not the same ar all. A dozen per day

wd still not be enough to get the effects you are looking for. lecithin has

been researched for well over 40 years. I believed it was poison too, but it's

not. ---tls

avoiding soy lecithin ??

You may not believe these sources, but I do. According to Dr. Ted

www.earthclinic.com/Supplements/lecithin.html, it's the only safe way to remove

benzene and other fat-soluble toxins. The Soy Dangers msg has definitely gone

Viral, since no one there took his post seriously. Hey, I helped do it as a

chapter leader for 7 yrs. How Krispin Sullivan misses the obvious abt Lipo-C I

just don't know. She's a good researcher. Even tuberose, while demonizing all

Soy is giving Lecithin a maybe-pass. WAPF does alot of good, but they have been

utterly and scientifically Wrong on a number of occasions. Choose your gurus

carefully., and remember they're human too, even if you love them. --tls

Lecithin granules are 97% phospholipids. Often referred to as oil-free lecithin,

lecithin granules have essentially all the natural soybean oil removed. This is

the only form of Lecithin that does NOT contain Lecithin Liquid. Lecithin can be

mixed with any foods consumed as a nutritional supplement. It has a mild nutty

flavor. One tablespoon of lecithin granules provides about 50% of the new (DRI)

Dietary Reference Intake Level for choline. Lecithin is a fat found in egg yolks

and soybeans. This particular fat contains high levels of phospholipids such as

phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Soy

lecithin is often used instead of egg lecithin because it is a vegetarian

product that is easier to obtain. Soy lecithin does not contain the

phytoestrogens, goitrogens, and other allergenic compounds found in soy protein

isolates and other unfermented soybean products. But why is it used? Isn’t it

just a cheap filler? Let’s find out…

So should you be avoiding products containing soy lecithin?

My thoughts are that avoiding such products can be compared to the unfounded

avoidance of saturated fats because of a false belief that they are harmful. I

don’t intend to avoid lecithin, whether it is derived from soybeans or egg

yolks, and in fact, I believe it is a healthful ingredient that can promote

brain health, daily detoxification, and longevity.

Another one of lecithin's benefits is that it displays potential as a remedy for

various psychological and neurological diseases, such as Tourette’s syndrome,

Autism, Alzheimer’s disease, and bipolar disorder (also known as manic

depression). The claim is based on the significant role that lecithin plays in

nerve cell signaling as well as in synthesizing important neurotransmitters such

as acetylcholine, without which many of our cognitive functions could be

impaired.

With the possible exception of soy lecithin, all soy products, no matter how

well treated, contain low to moderate levels of soy toxins; processing cannot

remove them all of any of them. www.tuberose.com/Soy.html

October 2008 - Lipid Technology Abstract The fat globules of milk are

surrounded by a membrane, which contains a triple layer of phospholipids.

Concentrated cream is thus a very good raw material for further processing in

order to make a powder, enriched in phospholipids. A powder can in this way

easily be produced with 20% phospholipids using only common dairy processes such

as centrifugation and membrane filtration. Milk phospholipids differ in

compositions from existing commercial sources such as soybean lecithins and egg

lecithins particularly with respect to the content of two bioactive

phospholipids namely sphingomyelin (about 24%) and phosphatidylserine (12%).

Sphingomyelin is an active agent controlling the intestinal uptake of

cholesterol and triacylglycerols in human nutrition. Intake of phosphatidyl

serine has clinically documented effects in maintaining cognitive performance

like memory and stress control. A milk phospholpids enriched product thus offers

a 100% natural alternative to the well-established, semi-synthetic head-group

exchanged phosphatidyl serine from soy lecithin now existing on the market for

functional foods formulations.
