Lecithin is a complex mixture of natural chemical compounds called "phospholipids" which consist of fatty acids and a phosphate group linked to choline and inositol. Lecithin occurs naturally in all human, animal and vegetable cells. The most abundant source of lecithin in plant life is the soya bean. In humans, where the highest concentrations are found in the brain, liver, kidneys and bone marrow, lecithin circulates in the blood keeping other fatty substances - including cholesterol - in suspension. Lecithin is rich in phosphatidyl choline, a nutrient which plays an important role in the breakdown of fat in the liver and the emulsification of fat in food. Many of the foods we eat have been refined thus destroying their valuable lecithin content, diets which are rich in refined foods may not contain sufficient lecithin. Many men and women, particularly those on low fat, low cholesterol diets like to supplement the body's own supply of lecithin. Patrick Holford in his book "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" suggests a tablespoon of lecithin granules every day as choline is transformed into acetycholine, a brain chemical vital for the transmission of messages between the brain cells..
