Soy lecithin

Seems to be a debate about whether or not this is a healthy food additive or not. Used as a emulsifier in foods, some claim health benefits while others claim it to be extremely harmful. What gives?

honestly and not to spark a debate but at my age i quit worrying about if something will do me harm 15 years from now. if you gave up all chemicals and proceesed foods youd be in the garden chewing on a head of lettuce and id rather be worm food

I actually had to look up soy lecithin just to see what it was.
I remember when the government back in the 60s was lecturing everybody to not eat butter that margarine was healthier..
Years later we learned that margarine was actually developed to fatten turkeys faster. The side affects were: It killed the turkeys. It wasn't real food and the turkeys body didn't know what to do with it.
Rather than waste all that research and development they made up a theory that it was safer than natural butter.
Trouble is,  the human body doesn't know what to do with it either,  and it cloggs up the arteries.

This  soy lecithin sounds like something that needs avoiding.

I believe that the internet answers are many times paid for by groups who stand to profit from misinformation and lead the pack. I also believe this product is unhealthy yet posed as healthy just like asbestos was the best thing for everything until it wasn’t.
