The way I'm reading it, excess Lecithin (usually in supplements and food additives) when combined with gut flora is metabolized into an artery plaque.

It increases levels , not decreases them.

Yes, an excess of choline/lecithin being bad is how I'm seeing this.

Its nonsense!

Lecithin is present in most nuts, seeds and legumes. Its also present in all milk before it is heated. This is more psuedo science from the masters of grant applications.
