Does that mean that the capsules probably aren't good quality? I believe in whole foods mostly, and I would prefer just to eat the eggs to get lecithin anyway. Is that what you are saying is the best source? Debbie deb >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 --- Certainly Greg, Dandelion, A great *Liver Tonic* … Better than Soy for " Lecithin " Content Dr. James A. Duke, formerly with the USDA " Agricultural Research Service " in Beltsville, MD, points out in the January 19th,1991 issue of Science News magazine that dandelion flowers have a " lecithin " concentration of 29,700 parts per million (ppm); soybeans, the traditional source, came in with a count between 15,000- 25,000 ppm. " Lecithin " is a term used by scientists to denote " phosphorus fatty acids " produced inside the body by the liver or found organically in nature. " Lecithin " is essential for fat metabolism, ensuring that fats do not accumulate within the arteries, heart or liver. Lecithin is also concentrated in the myelin sheaths of our nerves, protecting them from stress and infection. Better Night Vision The February 16th, 1951 edition of a German medical journal entitled " Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift " features an article concerning dandelion for night blindness. A physician, Dr. S Niedermeier, wrote about the value of dandelion flowers to help correct this disorder. But the substance in the flowers that does this requires the presence of a certain amount of vitamin A. So Dr. Niedermeier devised a therapy program which included the dandelion flowers and fish oil for correcting this problem, as well as improving the condition of a related disorder called " retinitis pigmentosa " . It is recommended that fresh dandelion flowers (2 cups) be gathered by hand from an unsprayed field, rinsed in cold water, and then run through a juicer with one or two carrots. Spring is the best time for picking the flowers. Also, an effective treatment for warts involves the milky latex from the stem of the dandelion. Rub on the wart several times daily and watch it disappear. The same bitter components in dandelion root that give it that unique `coffee' flavor and smell also manage to activate the liver into producing more bile. A warm cup of dandelion tea or even better, dandelion root coffee, can work just as well. It is very valuable as a " liver cleanser " for alcoholics beginning recovery.

From this data it would seem dandelion flowers have about 40 % more lecithin than soy and not 25,000 times. The lecithin from dandelions would have a different chemical structure than that from soy. ======================== Good health & long life, Greg Watson, http://optimalhealth.cia.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2002 Report Share Posted February 27, 2002 ---Greg, Dandelion; 29,700 ppm Soybeans; 15,000 - 25,000 ppm. Even a forty percent increase would be a great advantage in my mind. Lecithin, to my knowledge, is a fat-melting substance which acts as a protective shield, restricting your trillions of cells from the onrush of fat. That is, lecithin acts as a barrier to fat. It either prevents fat-clogging in your cells or reduces it's cumulative impact. It also helps wash out accumulated fatty deposits. Once metabolized, lecithin releases a by-product known as *lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase* (LCAT). This by-product serves as a barrier and defense mechanism for adipose cells. As fatty deposits are broken down, they become more easily flushed from your system. This is my definition of lecithin. To my knowledge lecithin is lecithin, regardless of the source. Isolated lecithin may be effective. Lecithin in it's original state I believe would be much more effective. Reasons being that natural substances are EXTREMELY more effective when taken in it's original form with all it's components and catalysts intact( the way nature intended).
