Topic: SILK milk

The company that makes SILK milk (a soy milk product) has a
TV ad. It is the first time I have seen a TV ad for a soy
milk product.

Did it mention the thyroid. This from your leader.

There are, however, at least limited data suggesting that
infants with congenital hypothyrodism who consume soy formula
require about 25 percent more synthetic hormone than infants
with congenital hypothryoidism on non-soy formulas. But this
may not be a systemic effect, since fiber supplements also
necessitate that patients increase their thyroid hormone
medication.

This suggests soy, like fiber, may interfere with either the
absorption of thyroid hormone (in the case of medication), or
may interfere with reabsorption by interrupting the
enterohepatic circulation of thyroid hormone.

One study conducted in Japan did find that soy Consumption was
associated with adverse effects (increase TSH levels) on
thyroid function in older women, including an increase
incidence of goiter

Any concerns about the effect of soy on thyroid levels can be
definitively addressed by having thyroid hormone levels
measured. Even this step is not unordinary, since the American
Thyroid Association recommends that all people have their
thyroid hormone levels checked every five years beginning at
the age of 35.

I know nothing about the soy issue. However I do know that
producing actual evidence of anything on mha will not win
you friends.

Wasn't soy also touted as a menopause-symptom reliever? If it
works at all it'd affect other hormones too wouldn't it?
