Yes, though the correct term is "lecithin" but some people have seen the wrong spelling and reproduced it. If you buy it in a supplement form, or see it on an ingredients list, you will always see "lecithin".

Is lethicin a protein?
Lecithin is what you are looking for, not lethicin. It is a phospholipid. Which means that it has a phosphate part and a lipid part. This means that it has both water loving and water hating parts which makes it great for use in the body in places like the mucous membrane of our gut. It is not a protein.
How soy lecithin is made?
Lecithin is a combination of phospholipids that naturally occur in soybeans. Lecithin gums are obtained from soy oil after the oil has been extracted from the soybean flakes. Lecithin is removed from the soybean oil using a steam precipitation process.

Is lecithin halal for Muslims?
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
Can lecithin be eaten by those with soy allergies?
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.
A characteristic of lecithin supplements is?
Lecithin supplements are either sold in a liquid or granular form. Lecithin has a mild light taste that is not offensive when eaten alone.
Why do people put soy lecithin in chocolate?
Soy lecithin is an emulsifier, it makes chocolate ingredients "well blended". For example, if you try and mix water and olive oil, you won't be able to do so: you will have oil blobs floating on top of water - that is, these two ingredients cannot be blended together, and some emulsifier is needed to turn water and oil into a uniform mass. The same thing with chocolate: it has cocoa butter, which is hard to blend with other ingredients into a uniform creamy chocolate mass without an emulsifier (soy lecithin).
