My multivitamin has choline bitartate in it (a large portion). Should I be worried based on the Ziesel et al (1983) findings about choline chloride and choline stearate.
Personally, while I'm less than entirely convinced of this mechanistic link to heart disease, I would avoid any choline supplements that do not use phosphatidylcholine, since this is by far what is overwhelmingly found in food.
I like the Phosphatidylcholine supplements which contain a range of different phospholipids. I agree with Chris, the closet we can get to food the better.
So if you don't happen to have enough carnitine to burn the lipids, that would likely cause a higher blood level of Choline, wouldn't it? So this study possibly could be detecting carnitine deficiency and not choline over-abundance...
This is a very interesting discussion, and something that has always been up for debate. Heart problems have various root causes, and it's hard to single out dietary choline for that.
In my opinion, it's best to just avoid whatever could possibly be a health risk. Your safety is never to be taken for granted, no matter the circumstances.
