The present article is concerned with some aspects of lecithin metabolism and function as they pertain to mental health. Given that lecithin is a popular emulsifier in the food industry, as well as an active substance in many supplement formulations, its effects on mental health deserve special attention from a public health perspective.

The article discusses some of these concerns and proposes simple remedies.
