Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 Lecithin is not always vegan but is usually I believe. Lesley Viv [vc27]27 July 2002 01:04 Subject: RE: Re: spray oils But it's the alcohol that counteracts the bad effects of the other stuff. Especially taken in large quantities - you'll find it can get rid of most of what you've imbibed earlier. Actually, I've got some Fry Light that I bought last year & haven't got around to using yet (gonna try it with the muck dock...) and it says "suitable for vegetarians". Ingredients are sunflower oil (58%), water, grain alcohol, emulsifier: lecithin, antioxidant: vitamin e. Couldn't tell you if it works tho. Prob better to stick to olive oil, perhaps in a spray like jojo suggested.

Its no secret.As to the spray oil, I haven't used any yet. I was just asking if any werevegan. But as Fraggle pointed out apparently they aren't even healthy, so Iam happy for my enquiries to end there. I'll just stick to good old healthyolive oil! :-)But I don't drink alcohol so I am good in that sense. :-)Janeyx To send an email to - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 I know that. But it's definitely not from a dead animal source as it's "suitable for vegetarians" and I just haven't got around to asking them if it's vegan yet. Be out of date soon anyway so I'll prob never get around to using it. Usually use sunflower oil, olive oil's a bit too oily tasting for me and I can always taste it. Was cutting it with sunflower but it ran out & haven't replaced it. Don't use an awful lot of oil anyway so the sunflower's prob not doing me too much harm.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 I have to confess it that I tend to trust lecithin as I heard that it is usually from soya, and relatively rarely from egg or dairy. Should always ask the company I suppose, sometimes do. Lesley Viv [vc27]27 July 2002 12:57 Subject: RE: Re: spray oils I know that.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 B " H I believe that lecithin is an element of egg yolks in addition to being from soy.... Debbie Lecithin is not always vegan but is usually I believe. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Lecithin can also be taken from eggs, but commercially I believe it is easier and cheaper to use soya lecithing, and therefore, that is what is normally used.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Wow, Viv, thank you! That is completely unsavory. Now I am *really* glad I only eat it if it specifies soy lecithin... blenh -- jojo Viv wrote: Looked it up once, apparently, it can also come from sperm... Not sure if I'll use the stuff now!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2002 Report Share Posted July 28, 2002 Hi Jojo, my wife bought a can of cheap off-brand spray oil and it does not list grain alchohol as one of the ingredients. I looked at some name brands at the store and sure enough, they mostly list that alchohol on their ingredient list. Live and learn ....
