	I found the above amusing.  First Macleod says take choline, not
Lethicin (which is only part choline), then he says to take phosphatidyl
choline, because choline chloride upsets the stomach.
	Well, suprise, suprise.  Phosphatidyl choline IS Lethicin.
	So the way I read the posting is "take choline rather than
lethicin, but it might be better to take lethicin rather than Choline."
Ergo, take the advice with a grain of salt (preferable a calcium salt,
which would be better for you in the long run.)
