Dawn Marie Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I've searched for this in the forum, but couldn't find much. Many of the teas I've been looking at contain sunflower lecithin, is this okay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 17, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2013 Sunflower lecithin is okay, but not soy lecithin which is more common in teas I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Marie Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 YAY! There was a whole brand of teas at the store that all had sunflower lecithin, but no soy! Yippee! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yay! Silk unsweetened coconut milk has sunflower lecithin and no careenagen. I may get some to vary what I put in my morning coffee from the straight coconut cream, or better yet to brew chai tea with (assuming the chai I have is compliant)..

PhysicsHippie Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm just curious why sunflower lecithin is allowed in the Whole30 program... Cuz I guess our goal is reduce inflammatory items, but I have read that lecithin can actually be difficult for the body to digest and can be inflammatory. My guess to the answer would be if you are still seeing inflammatory symptoms on Whole30, then the next step would be to cut out this item? Just like how FODMAP foods can be cut out individually if you are still seeing issues. Just wanted to stir the pot a bit. Cuz even though I LOVE allowing this item so I can purchase commercially made almond milk, it just got me thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, if you find you're having concerns, you could remove the preservatives and additives to see if that helps. Many people choose not to use any preservatives in their food freedom and when they do subsequent Whole30's but we dont' require it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
