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?
