WATCH THIS SPACE—Your Name May 1 RE you nervous and irritable? | On edge; prone to be easily excited, or are you worrysome, fearful, and peevish? If so, then, | says modern science “your nerves are starved for lecithin.” Part Of The Nerve Tissue Formerly nervous disorders were viewed as purely psycho- logical problems, but now we know that just as the teeth and bones go wrong when there is a lack of calcium or vitamin D, so the nervous system goes wrong when there is a lack of lecithin, for lecithin is a chief constituent of nerve tissue, just as calcium is a chief constituent of bony tis- sue. The nerves can no more be healthy and normal with lack of lecithin than the bones can be healthy and normal with lack of | calcium. | Modern investigations have shown that large numbers of peo- ple today suffer lecithin defi- ciency, and that when this leci- thin is mild, it affects primarily the nerves. Also Constituent of Glands Lecithin is a chief constituent of the various endocrine glands, those chemical directors of the organism which control various physiological activities. The gonads are rich in lecithin, and so are their secretions. Over- activity of the gonads can cause considerable lecithin to be with- drawn from the body, and this may result in a deficiency of this substance, leading to under- nourishment of the nerves and brain. This, it seems, is one of the most frequent causes of leci- thin deficiency, a very common condition nowadays. Lecithin-Rich Foods The question now arises as to whether this state of lecithin de- ficiency can be remedied by a diet composed of foods rich in lecithin. Unquestionably this can be done. This should then offer a definite hope for the chemical treatment of nervousness, for by supplying the body with the miss- ing lecithin, the starved nerves may be provided with the chemi- cal substance they most require for their nutrition. Of all known foods, there are only two which contain consider- able amount of lecithin, and these are egg yolk and soybeans. Egg yolk, we know now, has the objection that its lecithin tends to easily decompose and form cholin, a poisonous substance and nerve-irritant. Tt is suspected, by some authorities, that eggs tend to putrefy the body. The lecithin of soybeans, on the other hand, is comparatively stable, and does not tend to decompose and form poisonous products. Dr. Horvath, an authority on the soybean, claims that the con- sumption of soybeans is followed by a definite rise in the concen- tration of lecithin in nerve tissue, which indicates that soybean lecithin actually becomes part of the organic structure of nerve cells. The fact that the sexual glands, through over-activity, can withdraw considerable lecithin from the nerves, indicates that lecithin deficiency is a well-nigh universal condition, and that the soybean offers a definite remedy for various nervous ailments which have their origin in a de- ficiency of lecithin.
