Lecithin is a phospholipid substance which naturally occurs in egg yolks. The word comes from the Greek for egg yolk.
There are 100 calories in 1 tablespoon. It is very high in calories because it contains a large amount of eggs and oil. It is made by combining lemon juice or vinegar with egg yolks. Eggs (containing the emulsifier lecithin) bind the ingredients together and prevent separation.
Lecithin
Lecithin can come from two main sources; soy or eggs. Clearly if you have a soy allergy, eating soy lecithin is unwise. Luckily, if lecithin is from soy, it must be labelled "soy lecithin" on the packaging. Eating egg lecithin should present no problems. I should point out that the vast majority of regular chocolate bars contain soy lecithin rather than egg; lecithin-free chocolate is a specialty product which can sometimes be found in specialist chocolateries or health-food stores.

Most unprocessed nuts, unprocessed grains, unprocessed soy, and eggs all contain lecithin. Nutrients, including lecithin, affect the taste of many foods. Most commercial manufacturers improve the taste of foods through processing that removes many of the nutrients, including lecithin. And of course, sunflower seeds contain lecithin. NIH research indicates that, when combined with a hearth healthy diet, lecithin can reduce cholesterol (T.A. Wilson, Soy Lecithin Reduces plasma lipoprotein cholesterol and early artherogenesis in hyper cholesterolemic monkeys and hamsters: beyond linolate, Atheriosclerosis, Sep 1998). No MDR for lecithin has been established by NIH or FDA.

There is no definite answer to this question since Lecithin (which is an emulsifier) may be derived form either plant (i.e. soy lecithin) - or animal source. Here in Germany it is specifically written if the lecithin is derived from soy beans (= soy lecithin). If only "lecithin" is written on the product, one has to ensure (f.e. by contacting the producer) whether its derived from animal or plant-source. See more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin
