So What's up with Soy Lecithin?

So I am finally beginning to explore the possibility of soy lecithin with my younger daughter who has a soy sensitivity.  Here is some good information on what it is and why it is used in certain products.

I have tried certain products so far to try with my daughter.  The first is Whoppers...yes the chocolate balls.  They have soy lecithin.  I gave her one and then, set the timer.  She was fine so she is now all out enjoying whoppers :).

The second thing is Oreos.  I found this article from Nabisco, which helped me brave it and try.  All was good.

Each person will be different because there are some soy sensitive/allergic people that may react to soy lecithin, but i hope, like my little one, you are able to tolerate it.
