Ted is okay with powdered or granulated lecithin. See the following page:
https://ted.earthclinic.com/supplements/lecithin2.html
… while he refers to granulated throughout, the end of his post says:
“Lecithin dose powdered or granulated is about 1 tablespoon a day, empty stomach or with meals are o.k.”
It is being de-fatted which he believes makes the granulated or powdered better than the liquid kind. Both granulated and powdered are de-fatted. A comparison of one brand's granulated soy lecithin versus the same brand's powdered sunflower lecithin indicates the same total fat in the sunflower version (just different amounts of poly vs mono), so powdered also has less of the fat that is Ted's concern with the liquid kind.

I believe the best form is granules, not powder, but sunflower is better than soy and I can't really find sunflower lecithin in granules.
Does anyone have recommendations on exactly what to buy that aligns with Ted's suggestions and where to get it?

There's ample info to back the negatives of soy lecithin --go with sunflower! Let's start with the fact that hormones require fat for assimilation, and typically you'll find the highest concentrations there....for example, RBST, the hormone used in commercial milk production, is highest in butter, making it very important to consume grass-fed only. ALL fats act as a depository and carrier for more than hormones: know where and how your food is raised and avoid agri-chemicals and heavy metals by consuming organic or transitional only. Non-GMO soy is virtually non-existent anymore, fyi, no matter WHAT the label says!
