The newest of the B vitamins, was discovered for the first time in 1998, it has several unique connections to fat, and its name reflects that chole = bile in Greek.  Bile is the liver’s unique fluid for processing fat.
Choline is also important for the proper transmission of nerve pulses from the brain through the central nervous system as well as gallbladder regulation, liver function and lecithin formation.  Lecithin: type of lipid needed by every living cell of the body. The cell membranes, which regulate passage of nutrients in and out of cells are mainly composed of LECITHIN.
Choline also aids in hormone production and minimizes excess fat in the liver by assisting in fat and cholesterol metabolism
A lack of choline will result in brain function and memory impairment as well as produce symptoms such as:
  • Build up of fat in the liver
  • Cardiac symptoms
  • Gastric ulcers
  • High blood pressure
  • Inability to digest fats
  • Kidney and liver impairment
  • Stunted growth
Higher levels of choline results in lower levels of inflammation in the body resulting in lower risk of HEART DISEASE
Sources:
  • Broccoli
  • Oat bran
  • Egg yolks
  • Lecithin (13% choline by weight)
  • Legumes
  • Liver
  • Meat
  • Milk
  • Shrimp
It's always best to get your vitamins and minerals from  food sources as your body absorbs them better that way.

    I'm Elizabeth and I love cooking! When my son was faced with many different food allergies, cooking became very challenging.  Now I like to educate people about what they are putting in their mouth as well as inspire others that cooking healthy allergen friendly foods are easy and delicious.
