Also, what is your opinion on lecithin pills? Are they fine to take, or >should I just stick to the granular stuff?
The pill kinds are oil and they don't have as much lecithin content as the old granulated kind. In fact one gram granulated lecithin is equal to about 6 grams of those liquid kind. Therefore you get higher quality lecithin using the granulated kinds.
Granulated powdered lecithin is generally the safest since there is no oil portion or rancid oil you have to worry about. Most reported side effects comes from the oily liquid lecithin, but none from the granulated powdered lecithin.
