I have taken soy lecithin in capsules for over 20 years, keeps my liver happy, and the arterial pathways flowing nicely. I also take EPAs daily and have for over 15 years.. Neither has produced any negative side effects.
My family has a history of arteriosclerosis (sp), and my dad died of a stroke from blocked arteries, even after several bypass surgeries, and successfully using fish oil for a time (he just wasn't consistent about it). This regime works and is not expensive. I think all adults over the age of 40 should take both supplements daily and add some magnesium as well if they are concerned about calcium deposits.

Other experiments showed a slight cholesterol decrease in humans and animals taking soy lecithin or choline supplements. Still, moderation is key—people who chronically take more than 3.5 grams of choline per day occasionally have experienced side effects, including low blood pressure, marked by fainting or dizziness.
