It has been my understanding that lecithin is an emulgator, meaning it keeps
foodmixtures mixed. As such it is added to ready to eat soups, puddings,
cholatemilks, etc. So in my understanding the lecithin will not break down the
fats (which would mean pre-digesting), but keep the fats flaoting in the milk in
stead of ''glueing'' themselves to the ductwalls.
I do agree that very high fat milk might lead to plugged ducts if there's lots
of it left behind in the ducts. The accumulated deposited fat could cause a
plug.
