Abstract
This work presents isoflavones levels in soy-based infant formulas commercialised in France. These compounds are known to be both estrogenic and anti-gonadotrophic compounds. A comparison is made with soy based food supplements for estrogen deprived menopausal women. This work gives the latest scientific data on the effects of isoflavones in humans and presents the actual controversy on the effect of soy based infant formulas on human health. It gives the actual data on cow milk allergy in infants and explains what to do when cow milk allergy is suspected in infants. This paper warns paediatrics and advises them to avoid soy based infant formulas for infant below 6 months or to prefer formula with low isoflavone content if they are commercially available.
