Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Hi, I am very interested in this information. I use Dr Duke's website a lot. I would like to be able to use this information. I am wanting to get the lecithin into me, and not sure how to do this. I never heard of Dandelion coffee and tea. From the flower you said. Of course, this time of year dandelions are scare. I can get organic dandelion greens from the store, which I do, and I juice them. Where can I find out whether there is lecithin in the green juice or not? Also, is lecithin a substance that is not hurt by heating or cooking?

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); Dandelion; 29,700 ppm Soybeans; 15,000 - 25,000 ppm. 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 --- Good Evening, Dandelion coffee and teas are available on the internet. Also they are prevalent in the UK and New Zealand although not in the U.S. that I'm aware of. A friend from New Zealand is sending me some. She tells me that it's widely available in her country both as an instant tea and in coffees. We have dandelion greens also available in our markets although they are not organic to my knowledge. Dr.Duke gears his research to the average person...it doesn't take a Ph.D. to can read them. That's a real plus in my mind.
