*SNIP*

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.

Birth Control Pills in a Bottle

In a recent article, I expose the truth about soy foods and the negative effect they are having on you and your family’s health. If your baby drinks soy formula, he or she is at risk for serious health problems.

It is estimated that infants fed soy formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times the amount of estrogen in their little bodies than infants fed other types of formula or who are breast fed.

In fact, infants fed soy formula take in an estimated three to five birth control pills’ worth of estrogen every day, depending upon the particular batch of formula and whether your baby is a big eater.

What does this mean?

Let’s take a look at the risks associated with this astronomical amount of hormone in your child’s developing body. Infants fed soy formula have an increased risk of:

Food allergies and digestive distress 
Behavioral problems
Asthma
Thyroid disorders
Early puberty and fertility problems (including anovulatory cycles; the inability to menstruate)
Cancer — It’s also important for pregnant women to avoid eating non-fermented soy, as a high estrogenic environment in utero may increase their child’s subsequent breast cancer risk. Boys could increase their prostate cancer and testicular cancer risk. Vegan moms who use soy as both milk and meat replacements AND are trying to take in more protein are at very high risk.
