I am trying to avoid vitamin e capsules that contain gelatin because of BSE concerns, but the only
ones that I can find are derived from soy. Given that there is some preliminary evidence to suggest
that soy products may cause dementia in males, I am wondering if vitamin E derived from soy products
would carry the same potential risk. I am trying to moderate soy consumption until something more
definative is found. Thanks in advance.

There is insufficient evidence to assign a risk. It is possible that soy products actually prevent
dementia. Don't worry so much - chronic stress may damage your brain too.--

I hope the anti-soy people will at least read and consider their arguments.--

is there really a group of people that are anti-soy? it seems that there
are much more pressings things to be angry about. Although it does seem
that some of the people here are very much pro-soy--almost to the point of
sounding a bit defensive when a question is asked! 🙂 -
This risk is non-existent will the materials needed to make capsule from soy based materials.

Here's some research I've found on soy:
? In 1991, Japanese researchers reported that consumption of
as little as 30 grams (approx. 2 tablespoons) of soybeans
per day for a one month resulted in a significant increase
in thyroid stimulating hormone. ? Soy consumption has been
linked to numerous disorders, including infertility,
increased cancer, and infantile leukemia; and, in studies
done dating back to the 1950s, that genistein (the
isoflavone in soy) causes endocrine disruption in animals. ?
In 1992 the Swiss health service estimated that 100 grams of
soy protein provided the estrogenic equivalent of the pill.
? The 1996 Puerto Rico Premature Thelarche study, found the
most significantreported in the press- but soy formula. ? In1998 the New
Zealand government had issued a health warning about soy
infant formula, but although the FDA called for safety
specifications and monitoring, they have never been
performed. ? Genistein exerts estrogen-like effects in male
mouse reproductive tract. ? There is a significant
statistical relationship between two or more servings tofu
(soy) per week and "accelerated brain aging", and tofu
eaters look five years older ? Mothers who eat a vegetarian
diet during pregnancy (greater exposure to phytoestrogens in
soy foods popular with vegetarians) has a fivefold greater
risk of delivering a boy with hyposadias, a birth defect of
the penis.To your health, [email hidden]

William, here are a couple of articles I came across. I'm not familiar with
the Pubmed abstract numbers however.
Hope this is helpful:

2) Tragedy and Hype: The 3rd International Soy Symposium-
Part II
3) G Matrone et al, Effect of Genistin on Growth and
Development of the Male Mouse, Journal of Nutrition,
1956, 235-240.
4) A Cassidy, et al. Biological Effects of a Diet of Soy....
American J. of Clinical Nutrition, 1994, 60: 333-340.
5) K D setchell et al, Isoflavone content of infant formulas
and the metabolic fate of these early phytoestrogens in
early life, Amer. J. of clinicial Nutrition, Dec. 2998
Supplement 1453S-1461S.
6) Menopausal Estrogen and Estrogen-Progestin Replacement
Therapy and Breast Cancer Risk. JAMA 200, 283:485-491.
7) Allred, C.D. et al. Soy diets containing varying amounts
of genistein stimulate growth of estrogen-dependent (MCF-
7) tumors in a dose-dependent manner. Cancer Research

posted from these sources and some from others. lisa"William A. Noyes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message
