Pat Bull and others,

The New Zealand study said that a soy-formula fed baby gets 100 times the
amount of estrogen than a BF baby?  The equivalent of several contraceptive
pills?

What kind of major problems could this cause in the future of a child?  Soy
formulas have always bothered me and 25% of formula fed infants are on it!
The components are too far removed from breast milk to even be comparable.
An IQ study on these children would be interesting.... I predict that soy
formula might very well be subject of the first lawsuit against formula
companies. What do you think?
