See book keywords and concepts | | Thyroid Effects: An epidemiologic study suggests that early soy formula feeding may be associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders later in life (Fort et al, 1990). In a review article, this hypothesis was supported by animal and in vitro studies that suggested genistein may stimulate immune function by antigen formation through covalent binding of genistein to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) (Doerge & Chang, 2002; Doerge & Sheehan, 2002). Soy-containing formulas were associated with goiter and hypothyroidism in infants in the 1960s until the addition of iodine to formulas. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The main alternative to cow's milk formula is soy formula. The carbohydrates in most soy formulas are sucrose and corn syrup, which are easily digested and absorbed by infants. However, as many as 30 percent of children who have allergic reactions to cow's milk also have reactions to soymilk. The high incidence of reactions to soy may be due to the frequency with which doctors prescribe soy formulas for babies believed unable to tolerate cow's milk. |

In 2007, two parents were convicted of murder and given life sentences in prison for starving their 6-week-old baby to death by feeding it with soy milk and apple juice. Now, soy experts are again calling for clear and proper warning labels on all soy milk products—following this and several other babies' hospitalizations or deaths under similar circumstances.
Only properly fermented soy products, such as miso and tempeh, provide soy nutrients that can easily be absorbed. |

The mean total cholesterol level was lowest in the SHy group (3.0 mmol/L), followed by the SF and HM groups (3.3 mmoi/L), the Chy group (3.4 mmol/L), and then the Why group (3.8 mmol/L).

See book keywords and concepts |  Fitzpatrick estimated that an infant exclusively fed soy formula receives the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day. By contrast, almost no phytoestrogens have been detected in dairy-based infant formula or in human milk, even when the mother consumes soy products.16
Fitzpatrick's research confirmed problems Richard and Valerie James were encountering with their own two children, and which other parents were recounting to them about children fed soy-based formula. |

See book keywords and concepts | | For women, female children fed the estrogens in soy formula and products hit puberty early, sometimes as young as age 6 to 8.37 Eating soy products during pregnancy may affect the sexual differentiation of the fetus toward feminization; studies even show malformations of the reproductive tract or offspring born with both male and female sexual organs.38 Kaayla T. | | To be on the safe side she further advised parents to make an effort to "avoid sensitization" by limiting both peanuts and soybeans during the third trimester of pregnancy, during breast feeding, and by avoiding the use of soy formula. Controversy has raged since the 1920s as to whether or not babies could be sensitized to allergens while still in utero. In 1976, researchers learned that the fetus is capable of producing IgE antibodies against soy protein during early gestation and newborns can be sensitized through the breast milk of the mother and later react to foods they've "never eaten. |

At a conference held in September 2000 at the University of California at Irvine, leading nutritionists, pediatricians and toxicolo-gists warned that newborns exposed to the levels of manganese present in soy formula risk brain damage in infancy that could lead to learning disabilities, attention deficit and other behavioral disorders, and even violent tendencies.9
Although healthy toddlers, children and adults who ingest excess manganese can usually eliminate most of it, infants cannot because their immature livers are not fully functional. |

See book keywords and concepts |  We must ask if any studies were done specifically to prove the safety of infant soy formulas prepared from a "Roundup® Ready" soy seed crop when a soy formula is needed to feed milk-allergic babies? The very young are admittedly more vulnerable to chemicals than most adults. How will this combination affect them? No one really knows. The infant food industry is well aware of GE products. Both Heinz and Gerber in July 1999 stated they wanted no GE components in their baby food.48

Most research, including animal studies, report anticancer (page 87) effects of soy extracts,22 though occasional animal studies have reported cancer-enhancing effects.23 The findings of several recent studies suggest that consuming soy might, under some circumstances, increase the risk of breast cancer (page 65). |

A true food protein intolerance in infants may result in persistent distress attributed to irritation of the esophagus caused by reflux (partial spitting up). These infants may respond to an amino acid (page 465)-based formula. | | Multiple Food Protein Intolerance (MFPI) of infancy Many infants who are intolerant to one food have been found to also be intolerant to several other food proteins, including soy formula and extensively hydrolyzed formula. This syndrome has recently been dubbed Multiple Food Protein Intolerance (MFPI) of infancy. As a group, these infants tend to have symptoms of severe colic (page 121), gastroesophageal reflux (page 198) and esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus due to irritation by stomach acids from repeated episodes of reflux), or atopic dermatitis (eczema [page 177]). |

See book keywords and concepts | | How will these affect soy formula fed infants 20 years from now? Is this good for growing and sexually maturing youngsters? (See Chapters 4, 5.) In time, will we find that this modified soy in some way can alter the onset of puberty or increase the propensity for breast cancer in females or prostate disease in males? Some have theorized that this is possible but the companies producing these genetically altered foods insist there should be no concern. How can they predict what might happen when no long-term studies of the effects in children have been studied? |

See book keywords and concepts | | Also, soymilk should not be substituted for soy formula. It does not contain the correct amount of protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, and vitamins, and if it is the only food given to an infant, it can pose serious health risks. To make a nutritious soy-based drink for babies, add 1 teaspoon mashed papaya, teaspoon brewer's yeast, and Vi teaspoon pure blackstrap molasses to 1 quart of plain soymilk. Almond or rice milk can be used in place of soymilk for a baby who has problems with soy. |

See book keywords and concepts |  What about soy formula? Formulas based on soybeans can contain such large amounts of phytoestrogens that infants fed only soy formulas are being exposed to doses six to eleven times higher than doses known to alter a woman's menstrual cycle. Infant formulas contain at least tenfold (and possibly as much as one hundred times) the amount of phytoestrogens found in breast milk.
Infants seems to metabolize the phytoestrogens, but there are differing opinions on how these compounds act in their bodies. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For years, pediatricians have been prescribing soy formula for infants with milk intolerance. My first experience with soy beverages was my younger brother's soy formula which, when I tried it, sent terrible signals to my childish taste buds. Consequently, I was slow to try the new soy beverages as an adult. I was curious, however, why they were so popular with children, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out how tasty they really can be.
Occasionally, a child will have allergies to both cow's milk and soy milk. Fortunately, this is not often the case. |
