Chuck, 'Theory' is stating that you have been taking lecithin for 30 years without knowing if the material that you taking is oxidized and or rancid, it doesn't have to smell rancid to have elevated peroxide levels. Have you tested your material lately? Fats need to be kept cold to prevent premature oxidation. Egg lecithin is another example of a phospolipid that gets oxidized when whipped or heated...Even though the study below is done with corn the premise is the same. There are literally hundreds of similar studies regarding this issue only I don't have the time to chase them down. Again this also doesn't address the GMO issue, which has ramifications far beyond the scope of this topic.

Experience trumps theory... I've used granulated soy lecithin for more than 30 years without it going rancid. It's in the kitchen cabinet with all my other supplements. Chuck "Watch closely.
