For those who asked, here is one more caution sent to me by one of my
patients with an eye for my interests regarding SOY dangers:
From recent PARENT MAGAZINE..SUMMARY: "SOY TROUBLE FOR BOYS: About 1 in 300
male babies are born with hypospadias, opening of penis on the underside
rather than at the tip......British resarchers found women with vegetarian
diet have 5 times risk of child having hypospadias....cause is suggested to
be diet phtyoestrogen exposure.
PMID Citation #10619956 BMJ from Jan 2000 Abstract has full story summary and
adds in the conclusion: "...the possibility that phytoestrogens have a
deleterious effect on the developming male reproductive system."
