"Hi there, I am writting because I feel the need to say something about what I've read about soy formulas. Now, my son is currently on soy (not for long, though!) and I don't want to make people feel bad about about putting thier babies on it and I'm not trying to bad-mouth soy formula, I just want to put this info out there so you will be able to make your own decisions! But I had recently come across a ton of negative information about soy formulas; tests and findings that have led some doctors to say not to give soy to our babies at all! First of all, there are dangerously high levels of estrogen-like chemicals in soy that can effect sexual maturity, damage the thyroid and cause learning/behavoral problems and even cancer later in life. Apparently, babies eat the equivalant of UP TO 5 birth control pills in estrogen-like "phytoestrogens" a day with soy formula. They say soy contains "antinutrients" that actually block the absorbtion of some protiens, fats and enzymes and have prevented normal growth in rats. Lately there have been questions and studies about the dangerously high levels of manganese in soy; supposedly it can cause damage to the livers and brains in young infants. There is also 100 times more aluminum in soy than in regular milk. There are some consumer groups in New Zealand and Canada that are pushing to completely remove soy formula from the market! Shocking, huh? Please keep in mind I am not a doctor or a scientist and I'm sure these findings have not been scientificly proven without a doubt but if there is the SLIGHTEST chance that ANY of this can be true, people need to know about it. So please keep this in your thoughts and maybe research soy a bit more before we feed it to our precious angels! Check out
