I was curious, so I looked online.

Weight Loss
Bee pollen can be taken as a fat loss supplement. It contains a substance called lecithin that flushes fat from the body and stimulates the metabolism to burn calories more quickly. There are have been many reports, articles and books that have been written suggesting that the bee pollen benefits extend to being able to slow down the aging process and its ability to effectively lowering your cholesterol levels

*The above was a sales site, so Not linking
wiki:
Lecithin is any of a group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk, composed of phosphoric acid, choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol). However, lecithin is sometimes used as a synonym for pure phosphatidylcholine, a phospholipid that is the major component of its phosphatide fraction. It may be isolated either from egg yolk (in Greek lekithos?λέκιθος) or from soy beans, from which it is extracted chemically (using hexane) or mechanically.
It has low solubility in water. In aqueous solution its phospholipids can form either liposomes, bilayer sheets, micelles, or lamellar structures, depending on hydration and temperature. This results in a type of surfactant that is usually classified as amphoteric.
Lecithin is sold as a food supplement and for medical uses. In cooking, it is sometimes used as an emulsifier.

Just eat eggs imo. Use honey if you want an organic sweetener. Good diet/nutrition (re: wholesome foods) will get you were you want to be.

sorry, couldn't control myself...no, Bee Pollen is a nice food material but has no miracle effects...none.......it is an old hype from way way back....
hey: it won't hurt you to have it, as it is a nutritious substance, but forget the tales about it...
