AVOIDING SOY The scientific consultants to Soy Information Service were warning health and food regulatory agencies of this risk in 1994. British researchers had shown that the estrogenic effect of soy isoflavones was equivalent to 16-24 ppb of Diethylstilbestrol….which is banned as a residue of growth promoters in meat for human consumption at 0.5 ppb. The scientific consultants to Soy Information Service regulators emphasised this risk in 1994 to food-safety regulators. ILLUSTRATIVE EXPOSURES The Swiss Federal Health Service, Bulletin 26 1992….”100 grams soy protein has the estrogenic effect in the range of a Contraceptive Pill”…This is the sole protein source in soy baby food! For the predictable potential effects in infants and adults, see: www.soyonlineservice.co.nz Here are simply expressed toxic dose levels:
(1) For adults A GLASS A DAY MELTS THE THYROID AWAY From USA WOMAN’S WORLD, Mar 16 2001-11-02 AVOIDING SOY ….as little as 30 mg of soy isoflavones—the amount in 5-8 ounces of soy milk – have been proven to suppress thyroid function! “The isoflavones in soy act like a hormone
in the body. And in
many women, especially those who eat large amounts of concentrated
soy powder or take isoflavone supplements, this disturbs the body’s
hormonal balance, triggering or worsening thyroid problems,”
explains Dr Larian Gillespie, author of “The Goddess Diet”.
Some experts are even calling for the makers of soy products
to remove these anti-thyroid isoflavones from their products.

For infants The amount of soy protein in a baby’s
daily intake of soy baby formulas means an infant gets the dose-equivalent
of an adult woman taking up to ten pills a day.
Or, a baby in its first year gets a total anti-fertility
dose of Pill-equivalents. Soy Information Service, Ph 64 9 434 0564 PO Box 3285, Onerahi, Fx
