What's the difference between lecithin and soy?

Lecithin


Definition:

  • (n.) A complex, nitrogenous phosphorized substance widely distributed through the animal body, and especially conspicuous in the brain and nerve tissue, in yolk of eggs, and in the white blood corpuscles.

Example Sentences:

  • (16) In egg lecithin with a variety of polyunsaturated side chains, the side chains with the greater number of double bonds are preferentially displaced by high concentrations of cholesterol, which accounts for the increase in the ratio of outer to inner -N(+)(CH(3))(3) groups.

  • (20) Both the relative decrease in the mass of disaturated lecithins in the BA washes and the increase in the percentage of esterified unsaturated fatty acids in the lecithins may be directly related to the reduced lung function reported to occur during the course of murine M. pulmonis pneumonia.

Soy


Definition:

  • (n.) A Chinese and Japanese liquid sauce for fish, etc., made by subjecting boiled beans (esp. soja beans), or beans and meal, to long fermentation and then long digestion in salt and water.
