Lecithin Helps with Heart Disease, Increases Longevity, and Improves Memory
Lecithin is a fatty acid naturally found in egg yolks and soybean oil. It is taken to protect against heart disease, increase longevity, and improve memory. Lecithin is an important natural source of choline, sometimes considered one of the B-complex vitamins and a nutrient necessary for the healthy functioning of cells, nerves, and the brain. Lecithin may help to lower high cholesterol. It helps to strengthen nerve sheaves and thus can play a role in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Lecithin is a mild antioxidant. It is non-toxic— side effects from pure choline are much more common. The food industry adds lecithin to products such as mayonnaise to act as an emulsifier, thickener, or stabilizer. (See Choline, under Vitamins and Minerals).
