Infants fed soy formula are the segment of the U. S. population that consumes the most soy.
Before birth and after weaning, most Americans are not exposed to
appreciable levels of soyfoods other than foods that have small amounts
of processed soy
components. The opposite scenario occurs in Asia, because Asians are
more likely to consume relatively high levels of soyfoods throughout
life, except between birth and weaning, when breastfeeding or milk-based
formula are common. Soy formula is made with soy
protein isolate containing isoflavones (SPI+) and supports normal
growth and development in term infants. Recent data suggest that there
are no long-term adverse effects of early exposure to soy formula through young adulthood. It is as yet unknown whether soy formula
consumption by infants will result in health problems or benefits upon
aging, but multigenerational animal studies with diets made with SPI+
have not revealed any problems. Soy
isoflavones can function as estrogen agonists, antagonists or selective
estrogen receptor modulators, depending on the conditions, and much
research has focused on health effects of purified isoflavones,
according to study by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences,
posted in PubMed.
