Hello Beavis,
A new specialty database is now available to help people get healthful
amounts of the nutrient choline in their diets. The database can be
accessed online, free of charge, at the Agricultural Research
Service's Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL) web site. ARS is the chief
scientific research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The database provides researchers and consumers with the means to
estimate daily choline intake from consumption of the more than 400
foods listed.

To access the choline database, go to:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/
Under the red heading, Food Composition Products, click on "Choline."
The database will come up as a PDF file, which can be studied online
or printed.
