That shit about soy-based baby infant formula equating to the estrogen content of taking 5 birth control pills per day is pretty horrifying. That many hormones ingested for years would have to fuck with those babies.

Can't be good for baby boys, or girls for that matter. I'd wager the powers that be who managed to make it so popular were well aware of all of this.

It's probably a lot cheaper to use soy and those in charge will be long retired by the time the health ramifications are fully understood

I don't think that's a problem. There's estrogen in breast milk as well. It is concerning in adults though.

There's estrogen in breast milk as well.

Yes, but how much. Also, there are a bunch of other hormones in breast milk.

How well does soy baby formula imitate the quantity and balance of hormones in breast milk?

Further, what about the chemical makeup?

How well do babies absorb breast milk estrogen compared to formula estrogen, soy or otherwise?
