Choline is available from egg yolks and lecithin, among other sources.

I was thinking chicken meat had a lot of choline, but I’m not sure.

Choline is available from egg yolk

Interesting...

Let’s be very clear about what this means.

It means that choline is necessary for proper function. It does NOT mean that consuming massive quantities of choline will have special protective effects.

Like most nutrients, either you get enough or you don’t. There is no benefit to consuming massive excess quantities. Excess can be as harmful as inadequacy.

“Choline is an essential nutrient found in a wide variety of foods including eggs, wheat germ and meats.”

For this specific work, mice infected with an intestinal worm were treated with an inhibitor of choline metabolism in vivo. The team found that there was a “tremendous reprogramming of the immune profile in the mice,” according to Dr. Fullerton.

Choline is required for quelling inflammation all over the body. As I understand it the body’s “inhibitor of choline” is cholinesterase. Cholinesterase is produced in the liver, and released in the lower intestines. That’s because cholinesterase is also the body’s method of reabsorbing and neutralizing bile acid. So there is an interplay among choline, cholinesterase and bile acid which is not addressed here.
