Re: Lecithin

 Why is there so much controversy about lecithin?

There is a lot of misinformation going around the net about soy and some other substances like canola oil. People make up rumors about these things and since human nature tends to be to focus on the negative they accept these rumors without question and pass on the rumor. If you search this site I posted about soy myths back a while ago. 

Some sites consider soy bad other people say the liquid is better and
the granules useless.

Soy is not bad in general other than being a common allergen. And then there is the GMO thing, but this applies to other foods as well. I personally feel that a lot of these rumors were started by industries that soy competes with such as the meat and dairy industries. 

As for liquid vs. granules the granules are definitely better. If you ever saw crude liquid lecithin it is very thick and extremely sticky. Properties that don't make it easy to work with in machinery for bottling or soft gel technology. For this reason the crude lecithin is highly diluted with soy oil to thin it out enough to run through the processing machinery. Therefore the liquids have very little lecithin and are primarily soy oil.  The granules are produced by removing the oil component from the lecithin.  This concentrates the active components such as phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidylethanolamine.

Give us your explanation on Lecithin?
What do you think of the 12 day Lecithin Flush?Apparently
if you take 3 tablespoons of Lecithin a day for 12 days in
a row it will help clear your arteries of plaque?

I recommend a tablespoon 3 times daily on a regular basis as long as the person is not allergic. Lecithin has so many benefits in the body including helping cell membranes, bile formation, myelin formation, keeping the organs supple, fat absorption, liver health, etc.

Did you

I emailed you back, nothing came through. I have not checked emails today yet.
