Does soy lecithin have the same estrogen-mimicking properties as soybeans? I’m taking medication to keep my body from producing estrogen, as a cancer treatment, and I don’t want to undermine my progress by eating foods that produce it.

I have a great friend that found out he was allergic to soy lecithin and soy flour when he was 35 – it was life threatening almost overnight. So just b/c it’s not the traditional allergy doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous.

My son is allergic to all things soy including soy lecitin. Our doctor told us not to worry about it because he would not be allergic to it and low and behold they were wrong yet again.

@Olivia good question regarding properties of GMO vs non-GMO. I don’t know. Regarding organic soy lecithin – yes, see for example http://www.organic-partners.com/pdb/specsheet.asp?which=350

does that mean that if it is from a GMo,( gentically modified plant) that it will have the same properties as the GMO plant? Do they make organic lecthicin
