"My experience has clearly shown that, compared to patients who do not ingest soy, those patients that ingest the most soy have more thyroid problems and more severe imbalances in their hormonal systems.  In fact, I have found it nearly impossible to balance the thyroid and the rest of the endocrine system in those patients who ingest large amounts of soy in their diet."
– David Brownstein, M.D.

"Soy is a very cheap crop to grow and it has found its way into countless food items and dairy products, not to mention cosmetics, shampoos, and vitamins.  Therefore, many people are exposed to soy on a daily basis without even knowing it!"
-Sheryl Shenefelt, C.N.

Is Soy Formula A Good Choice For Infants?

The quick and easy answer to the above question is "no". Soy formula, when it first came on the market, was actually promoted as healthier than breast milk.  This promotion was an outright lie.  In fact, although the FDA proclaims soy infant formula as safe, The Israeli Health Ministry and other government bodies have all Issued warnings about soy formula.  The Israeli Health Ministry, for example, has recommended that the consumption of soy foods be limited for young children and adults and that soy formula should be avoided altogether by infants.  We do not recommend soy formula for infants.  More info next week...
