Soy lyceum is one of the most common substances in chocolate products. More specifically, it is about genetically modified soy lecithin.
Lecithin is extracted from soybeans and is labeled E322 when used in foods as an emulsifier. It is a complex organic compound belonging to the group of phospholipids. In fact, phospholipids are among the most important for the body. In the body, lecithin is contained mainly in the brain tissue and nervous system and takes care of their proper functioning. In fact, it names a number of benefits to the human body due to its vital ingredients.
Natural lecithin is a useful and healthy compound. It is very popular in the diet in the treatment of high cholesterol and bipolar disorder.
And as useful as soy lecithin is, so harmful is genetically modified lecithin. This is due to the fact that most soybeans grown in the United States are genetically modified. In our country only 5% of chocolates and chocolate products are produced with natural lecithin. All others are filled with a GMO product resembling this substance.
Genetically modified soy lecithin is just as dangerous as other GMO products. The most common risks of consuming them are liver damage, risk of stomach cancer and infertility.
As mentioned, lecithin is referred to as E322, but there is no way to know if the substance is of natural plant origin or is the result of genetic modification. The richest natural source of lecithin is egg yolk. For mass production, however, the substance is extracted from industrial waste from soybean oil and other soybean products.
The danger of genetically modified lecithin is extremely high, as it is widely believed that under the designation E322 is a natural product that benefits health. There are a number of recommendations for self-administration of the substance as a supplement or as a medicine.
To take advantage of these benefits, you only need to rely on products that strictly mention the use of organic soy lecithin.
