Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring compounds found in certain plants, resembling estrogen. They have been a subject of concern due to their hormonal effects, particularly on reproductive health and hormone-sensitive conditions. (...)
Soy lecithin, which contains trace amounts of phytoestrogens, is commonly used as an emulsifier in small quantities and may not significantly contribute to overall phytoestrogen intake.

It’s not just the bars with hazelnut.
Soy lecithin is an emulsifier, a byproduct derived from soybean processing (can also be derived from other sources, such as sunflower seeds). It's a mix of lipids and phospholipids, commonly used in foods like chocolates, dressings, and baked goods. It's also found in products like cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. So it’s EVERYWHERE! 🥵
