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." < http://www.chieftain.com/articles/2009/12/24/news/latest_news/doc4b33836026f29960447061.txt > _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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.
