Soy Can Lead to.......

SOY- is it safe?

•  Soy isoflavones mimic estrogen so effectively that they are able to bind to estrogen receptors in your child's body and "turn on" the physical and emotional characteristics of puberty.
• Soy is anything but a health food. Not only is soy infant formula a terrible food choice for your growing infant, it can have adverse affects on your health as well. Unfermented soy contains goitrogens, substances that suppress thyroid function. When the thyroid is suppressed, a host of health problems result, namely:

•Digestive problems

•Food allergies

•Difficulty losing weight

•Anxiety and mood swings

•Insomnia

•Difficulty conceiving children

and so much more.

• The claim that soy products can prevent osteoporosis, decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease and dementia and protect you from cancer of the prostate, lung and liver is actually true but only if the soy is fermented

Soy formula sits on the same shelf next to formula made from cow's milk, and well-intentioned mothers have listened to doctors who told them that soy formula is an ideal alternative for colicky babies or those who are unable to tolerate milk based formulas.
However, according to a report done by Claire McCarthy of Harvard Medical School, very few babies benefit from soy formula, and I'm going to go one step further than that: soy formula is the absolute most dangerous food you can give your baby.
Let me explain why you should never feed your infant soy formula, what your alternative options are, and the best remedies for colic and diarrhea.
This article will also explain why most commonly-consumed soy products are anything but a health food for parents as well.
