Lecithin is an emulsifier. It is found in plants such as soybeans, in egg yolks and in other animal sources. As discussed below, emulsifiers are compounds used to keep oils or fats and water dispersed in one phase (i.e., they prevent oil and water from separating). If the lecithin is derived from plants, egg yolks or halal animals slaughtered according to Islamic law, it is Halal. Otherwise it is not.

Lecithin is found in egg yolks, the tissues and organs of many animals, and some vegetables such as soybeans, peanuts, and corn. Lecithin is commonly used in foods that are high in fats and oils in order to make dissimilar substances, such as oil and water, blend and/or stay blended. We list it as typically vegetarian. Archer Daniels Midland Co., a major manufacturer of lecithin, extracts it from soybeans. Soy is the standard for lecithin in the food industry these days. See similar questions...

When Carbon Monoxide (CO) is inhaled, it combines with hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin carries the oxygen to every part of the body. The reaction of CO with hemoglobin causes the body's oxygen delivery to be greatly disturbed, leading to reduced oxygen to all parts of the body, commonly called oxygen starvation. From the FAA's Advisory Circular (AC 20-32B), "Oxygen starvation of the brain reduces a person's ability to reason and make decisions. See similar questions...

For a Shedite possession, the Seraph gets both names. For a Kyrio or someone using the Song of Possession, you get only the current possessor since the real "owner" is in the Marches. In the latter case, the GM may allow the Seraph to make a Perception roll, with a good roll giving both names and intermediate rolls clueing in the Seraph that something is fishy. Last checked on 6/1/05, but I haven't doublechecked the APG and can't while a five-year-old is clinging to me. See similar questions...

BONES AND TEETH - The main function of calcium is the development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Bone is made up of cells and fiber embedded in a mineral matrix, which is mostly crystals of calcium phosphate. One form of bone calcium is bound tightly within the bone and the other is easily removed to maintain blood levels. Calcium is removed from the tightly bound part of the bone only when the more mobile stores are exhausted and dietary intake is inadequate. See similar questions...
