re: Soy: Too Good to be True

I am 19 weeks pregnant and was looking for a milk alternative. I googled soy milk to see what the calcium content was. I stumbled on to a site that said that soy causes boys to become gay. Naturally I was intriqued and I read it. I was shocked that anyone could say that soy was not healthy. Afterwards I decided to do some more research and I was absolutely horrified. I sent the weblinks to all my contacts in my address book. People need to be educated about what they are eating.

I am very glad that I did some snooping on the subject, otherwise I would never have been any wiser. Here in Africa Soy is still promoted as being healthy. Thank goodness for the Internet!

Love your website. Many thanks, mvwyngaard in Ermelo, South Africa.

Dear Dr. Mercola: My daughter's friend put her infant son on soy formula. By the time he was five, he was an isulin dependent diabetic with many allergies. My daughter and I often have mentioned the link between his diabetes at such a young age and his consumption of soy formula. He is now 10 but still is insulin dependent with many allergies. Have any studies been done on juvenile diabetes and soy consumption? Thank you for all your great articles and your great website. BB in Winnipeg, Canada
