In Praise of Lecithin

When I had my second child sixteen years ago, I watched a television program called The Frugal Gourmet. It was on that prograam that I was first introduced to Lecithin. The host took a bottle of granulated Lecithin and poured some of it into whatever he was creating. I can't remember what it was at this point. He explained that he poured it in dishes in which he was using a lot of butter in that it was useful in nullyfying the negative effects of the grease. I immediately looked into Lechitin and how it might be helpful to my family and myself. I found that Lecithin is a fat-like substance called a phospholipid that is indeed helpful when consuming fatty foods. However, I am not presenting that fact as an excuse to overindulge.

Here are some of the benefits of Lecithin:

*Soothing for both the Nervous and Circulatory Systems;

*A phospholipid (fat-like sutbstance) and fat emulsifier that is produced by the liver, in adequate diets;

*Necessary for every cell in the body. It is a key building block of cell membranes;

*Protects cells from oxidation and comprises a large portion of the protective sheaths surrounding the nerves in the brain; and last but not least

*It actually has a buttery or nutty taste in the granulated or softgel forms and either can be poured into soups and stews. (This is not an exhaustive list but is intended just to stimulate an interest and appreciation).

I hope this article has raised enough curiosity so that you will give Lecithin a try. I honestly swear by it and personally, I like the taste. Nature's Sunshine sells Lecithin in the softgel form.
