Question 1

is this product manufactured by using acetone or other toxic methods?

Accepted Answer

If there is any acetone in the product, it would be minimal at best. Another important thing to keep in mind is that acetone/2-propanone is a biosynthetic compound that is generated by the human body through decarboxylation of ketone bodies (during beta-oxidation of fatty acids); it is almost always found in blood and urine in small concentrations. Acetone's primary safety issue is its flammability. It has never been shown to be mutagenic, carcinogenic, or neurotoxic. Large quantities can be irritating and can depress the nervous system, but any amount found in food products and supplements will be minimal at best.

Question 2

Does anyone know where one can purchase organic sunflower lecithin granules manufactured without acetone or other harmful chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Acetone is not a toxic chemical. It is a natural organic solvent that is present in your cells & organs. Laboratory grade acetone used for plant oil extraction does not leave any harmful chemicals or byproducts.

Question 3

where is this made? Is it made in China?

Accepted Answer

BungeMax (a supplier) lists several points of origin. https://bungecreativesolutions.com/bungemaxx/  (scrolling way down)
Lekithos, a competitor of NOW, et al,  says theirs comes from Russian. https://www.lekithos.com/product/sunflower-lecithin-granules/
Lekithos seems to be more transparent than others.

Question 4

Will this make my homemade keto chocolate which is mostly oil. Not so oily?  I have the taste down but i cant get past the oily feel in my mouth.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it seems to me like it helps with this kind of thing. I use it in keto shakes to keep the oil from separating back out.
