September 2 1999 Dear Caregiver ESTROGEN OVERLOAD Please fax this to all the daycare schools in your area, as many do not have e-mail. We assist the webmaster at www.soyonlineservice.co.nz. That Internet site has important health information that all parents and care- givers have a right to know, but is limited to a few government bureaucrats in Canberra and Washington. If you visit the home page, the National Research Council of the U.S. Academy of Sciences reports that the estrogenic dose from soy baby foods is in the range already known to cause thyroid abnormalities. Click on Protein Technologies and you will see Dr D.M. Sheehan and colleagues (the chief reproductive toxicologists at the FDA) oppose industry health claims with evidence of brain atrophy, reproductive malformations and thyroid disorders: "No dose is without risk", they write.
Click on to Australia/New Zealand Food Authority and you will see the infant estrogen dose from soy baby foods is 240 times higher than normal hormone levels
