Nutrition question: What does lecithin actually do?
I've been taking lecithin for years on the advice of my parents, as part of my daily supplements.
The reason being: I'm autistic, and I'm in my 40s. I was diagnosed over 25 years ago. They said it would help my...quirks.
A few years ago, I learned how bad soy is, so I switched from soy lecithin to sunflower lecithin. However, I'm sure not noticing any real difference.
And then an online friend of mine showed me this link, saying soy lecithin and sunflower lecithin are equally bad for you. I'd never heard of the website before, and looking around it, I still can't come to a conclusion on whether to trust it.
So I turn to you guys. I've made nutritional adjustments based on what I've read here and on the old subreddit over the years, such as taking Vitamin K-2 MK-7, which I do now. And looking on every other win about this turned up nothing on this particular subject.
Lecethin is a source of choline,which is like a stimulant for the synapses to fire better, in your brain, thereby setting up nueropathways, to help memory and cognition. A nuero pathway is like a rut in the road, if there is path for memory, and that path is maintained, by traveling along the same rut all the time, those nueral firings will always occur the same way, because the path has been made, if that makes sense. It makes it easier for the brain to find learned data, motor memory, say, for learning music, because the choline keeps the synapses "snappy". Sorry for the metaphorical explanation, its the only way I can understand things, I have no gift for straight data. Maybe I need more lecithin. Free range hens who have a lot of good sunlight and Vitamin D from sunshine, lay eggs that are loaded with lechitin, the yolks have that richness that almost coats your tongue.
Huh, good to know, thank you. I guess I'll keep taking it, then.
I love eggs, and I like a pretty egg. Before I put them in my cooker I look them over and admire how pretty they are. I know that sounds weird, but oh well. I am also a supplement taker. I’m addicted to them. ❤️
I take it for psoriasis on my hands and feet. It works miracles.
