Why Not Soy Formula?

From a conversation with Allison Steinke this week:

"When you are eating cake, should you be thanking God for the food you are about to receive, or apologizing for it?"

Good point, Allison.

----------------------
Soy-based infant formula may adversely affect hormonal development in neonatal infants and should not be sold commercially. Soya is the richest dietary source of phytoestrogens, a plant form of the female hormone estrogen. Neonatal infants are particularly vulnerable to estrogens and insufficient research on the long-term health effects of phytoestrogens warrants a ban on the nonprescription sale of soy formula.
