A November 1994 warning published in Pediatrics in which the Nutrition Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics advised against the use of soy formulas due to the diabetes risk. These warnings have been neglected ever since it was reported that the AAP accepted a multi-dollar donation from the Infant Formula Council for their new headquarters building outside Chicago. [30] A research published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, September 2001, indicates that soybeans and soy-based foods, a staple in the diets of many healthconscious consumers, may promote kidney stones in those prone to the painful condition. Numerous animal studies show that soy foods cause infertility in animals. Soy consumption enhances hair growth in middle-aged men, indicating lowered testosterone levels. A Japanese housewife feeds tofu to her husband frequently when she wants to reduce his virility. [42] For every scientific paper on the dangers of soy consumption there are still hundreds proving otherwise. One needs to be aware that many scientific studies are biased or are not in-depth enough to give useful results. It is therefore easy in some cases to present data to support a variety of cases for soy, depending on which research you pick. Even looking at all the evidence and weeding out the flawed study may not tell you the real picture if none of the scientific research was long-term enough, or not well controlled. In any case, negative results in animal research are frequently ignored in order to get goods onto the market. The disturbing facts about adverse reactions to soy are not generally heard by consumers due to control of the mass media, being pushed by strong soy lobby. The heavy influencing of regulatory bodies and nutritional authorities by industrial concerns have even led to officially accepting soyfoods as wholesome nutritional products. When official sanction is given to a product, it is not usually long before health magazines funded by industrial advertising money start to promote it and dietary faddists begin to market it as a miracle food.
