  1. 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.

    The same potential risk as what? The soy-dementia connection is apparently just a guess at this
    point. You cannot compare undefined risks.

    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.

    Thanks for the link. Virginia and Mark have done a good job of summarizing and analyzing the issues.
    I hope the anti-soy people will at least read and consider their arguments.

  6. 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! 🙂

  7. This risk is non-existent will the materials needed to make capsule from soy based materials.

  8. damned typos corected version "William A. Noyes" This risk is non-existent with the small amounts of
    materials needed to make capsules from soy based materials.

    There are both and those in between.

  10. 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 significant

    reported 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.

  12. Lisa why don't you post the Pubmed abstract numbers for
    us since you say you did the research. Anything from
    that source?

  13. William, here are a couple of articles I came across. I'm not familiar with
    the Pubmed abstract numbers however.
