Most soybeans are genetically engineered nowadays(unless organically grown).
So the problems they are now seeings may have more to do with genetic
engineering than anything else.  Dr. Mae-Wan Ho has written about the dangers
of generating pathogens by vector mobilization and recombination. She
mentions that over a period of 10 years, 6 scientists working with genetic
engineering of cancer-related oncogenes at the Pasteur Institutes in France
contracted cancer(New Scientist, June 18 issue, 1987, p.29)  She writes at
one point that, "many unrelated bacterial pathogens, causing diseases from
bubonic plague to tree blight, are now found to share an entire set of genes
for invading host cells, which have almost certainly spread by horizontal
gene transfer." Genetic engineering has been going on for some-time and few
people realize that biotech companies started forming in the 70's to use this
technology for profits.

Lest one think that going to cow's milk formula is the answer, I would
suggest rethinking that option.  Cow's milk formula is also being genetically
engineered.  So of course the answer is human milk banking.  But, of course,
the powers that be aren't going to let that happen in any big way because
there is money to be made in selling expensive bioengineered
products(especially easy when the general public has been purposefully kept
ignorant).    Valerie
