Compatibility with special diets
There is evidence to suggest that Lecithin (CAS NO.8002-43-5) itself can lower cholesterol.
Egg-derived Lecithin may be a concern for those following some specialized diets. Egg Lecithin is not a concern for those on low-cholesterol diets (because the Lecithin found in eggs markedly inhibits the absorption of the cholesterol contained in eggs). There is no general agreement among vegetarians concerning egg-derived Lecithin; since it is animal-derived, Jains and vegans choose not to consume it.
