thanks for the info guys. i ask because its a componant of the spray oil that i use, but i think from what dougy boy says, i may switch to making my own, as it is something that i use on a very frequent basis.

has anyone ever tried making thier own spray olive oil? do you have to mix the oil with water or not? do i have to buy an atomiser from a cook shop or can i just use one of the fillable ones that you can buy from superdrug etc?

Wow Doughy Boy, that doesn't sound good. I'll stick to a good balanced diet, (most of the time)

Be wary of any claims that lecithin has any therapeutic or beauty benefits!! It's a pretty rough chemical and is made by a process that uses heavy amounts of hexane - a known carcingoen.

Hi Cheese

I think I had better go and get some.

cheese, there's always a problem using the words "natural" and "artificial". Lecithin is very natural, it is found in egg yloks and soya beans. Lecithin is used commercially in substances requiring a natural emulsifier or lubricant, from pharmaceuticals to protective coverings. For example, lecithin is the emulsifier that keeps cocoa and cocoa butter in a candy bar from separating. It is made by processing soya beans at very high heat and extracting the substance. Some would say this is "artificial". It is claimed to be a great anti-oxidant but this is no exactly proven as yet.
