Does the lecithin found naturally in eggs reduce the cholesterol content?
The amount of cholesterol in an egg is determined primarily by the genetic background of the hen and the hen’s diet. It is not affected by the lecithin content of the egg. Lecithin is found in the egg yolk. It contains a phospholipid, acetylcholine, which helps improve brain function. Lecithin helps to stabilize emulsions when making mayonnaise and salad dressings.
