Have you read about the wonders of lecithin?

I have been reading about food that lowers cholesterol. Here´s another interesting piece of information. One article led me to another ( you know how searches online are) until I found this: "Dr. Lester M. Morrison, director of a research unit at Los Angeles County General Hospital, first published (Geriatrics, January, 1958) his findings that lecithin could be used to lower cholesterol levels. In fact, Dr. Morrison reported that "lecithin was found to be the most effective cholesterol lowering agent tested. . ." He reported that 80% of his patients suffering from high serum cholesterol levels showed an average decrease of 41% in serum cholesterol after taking lecithin for several weeks. Instead of "blocking" absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract as other cholesterol reducing agents did, lecithin enhanced the metabolism of cholesterol in the digestive system and aided in its transport through the circulatory system. The lecithin acted as an emulsifier and broke down the fats and cholesterol in the diet into tiny particles and held them in suspension, preventing them from sticking to blood platelets or arterial walls. It is when fats are not properly emulsified, that they become "sticky" and this is the major cause of blood clots, atherosclerosis, and coronary thrombosis. Interestingly enough, researchers have since demonstrated that atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries) can be induced in the laboratory by either increasing the cholesterol introduced into the body or by decreasing lecithin intake." I kept on reading the article and discovered that it also did wonder for memory. I´ll see where I can buy it as it also says it mixes well with tahine, peonut butter and other things we eat. Would you be willing to try it? I feel that natural products are good ways to start a body heaing process.
