Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Stephanie, I agree about moderation. We all eat soy in my household. I think the concern for me would be babies who are on soy formulas as that is their only food for 6mos. Breastmilk is best for babies but if you are using formula a dairy based formula is closer to mother's milk than a soy one. Makes sense since we are more like cows than soy beans right? LOL Soy formula should be reserved for babies who can neither have mother's milk or cow's milk formula but I think a lot of people took the information about formula not being as good for babies and decided that meant soy was better. And yes I know about the problems with dairy farming, etc. I'm just talking from a nutritional standpoint for infants. Jacqueline Regarding the Soy Online Service website... From what I understand, the woman who runs it used to work for the American Dairy Association, or something like that. I think that the both the Meat & the Dairy industry has a lot at stake in making Soy look bad. I'm not saying that people should ignore the possibility, but I am saying that they should take it with a grain of salt. Besides, I also understand there's a difference between eating things like Tofu & Tempeh, and eating Toffutti and such. The More processed the Soy is when you eat it, the less good it's going to be for you. As in all things, a good degree of moderation will probably protect you from any serious problems regarding 'health problems' from soy.
