I have read mixed data. Many sites state that soy oil and soy lecithin do not contain isoflavones and/or phytoestrogens, however other sites say that it does, especially soy lecithin. I guess we won't know.
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.
There are countless recipes for white bread, some of which may contain soy milk, soy oil, soy lecithin or other soy products.
No they do not, except for the jolly rancher doubles and pops (which contain soy lecithin)
No, they don't.Related Information:Isoflavones produce a type of plant estrogen that is much weaker than human estrogen. It is very important to note that plant estrogen is not the same as human estrogen, and it does not stimulate the body to make human estrogenWhile soy does not contain estrogen, it does contain non-steroidal plant compounds called phytoestrogens. These produce some similarity of effect. These compounds are sometimes called dietary estrogens. They can sometimes, mildly mimic estrogen.See related links, and questions.
Foods that contain high amounts of isoflavones include soy, peanuts, chick peas, alfalfa, fava beans, and kudzu.
Some lecithin is derived from soy bean oil, and some is derived from animal fat. A lot is derived from egg. Best to go to a vegetarian store which stocks soy lecithin.
An emulsifier made from soy oil.
In short, no. Lecithin is a type of fatty substance which occurs in plant and animal tissues. As the name suggests soy lecithin is derived from the soy bean. It is safe for people who have celiac disease to have it. However, people with an allergy to soy should avoid it.
yes!
Nope
Soy lecithin is listed as an ingredient of MoodFood Suntheanine, however it contains no wheat.
