Dear Friends:

"The foundation also contends prisons are serving genetically modified soy,
which it says can further aggravate allergic reactions and mineral
absorption.

Research by Monsanto, which developed herbicide-resistant soy, has found
that the genetically modified product has up to 27 percent more of a
potential allergen called trypsin inhibitor than other soy, said Jeffrey
Smith, author of "Seeds of Deception," a book that criticizes genetically
modified foods."

I remember reading, don't ask me where, that a theory behind the increased
incidence of peanut allergy is the amount of soy used. 25% of formula used,
by some estimates, is soy formula.

I also remember offering, as all the other nurses did, soy formula to
breast-fed babies. What were we thinking? That because the vegetarians we
knew ate soy, that it would be better than cow for a breast-fed baby????

sigh.
