• Phospholipids contain fatty acids, glycerol, and phosphorus.
• The phosphorus part of the phospholipid substance - the lecithin - is made up of PC.
• For this reason, the terms phosphatidylcholine and lecithin are often used interchangeably, although they're different.
• Foods that contain lecithin are the best dietary sources of PC.
