Tuohy notes that soy infant formula contains high levels of the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, which are
commonly referred to as phytoestrogens. These are chemicals similar to estrogen. Infants consuming soy formula have high levels of circulating isoflavones. These are an order of magnitude greater than the levels of isoflavones which have been shown to produce physiological effects in adult women consuming a high soy diet.
commonly referred to as phytoestrogens. These are chemicals similar to estrogen. Infants consuming soy formula have high levels of circulating isoflavones. These are an order of magnitude greater than the levels of isoflavones which have been shown to produce physiological effects in adult women consuming a high soy diet.There is an increasing number of recent reports that suggest that in experimental animals, phytoestrogens have adverse effects with respect to cancer, reproductive function, immune function, and thyroid disease.
Tuohy concludes that soy should probably not be consumed by infants and children
because of it's potential adverse side effects.More information on this subject: Books
