Soy Baby Formula and Manganese Toxicity/ADD/ADHD

I send this information because “Soy” has permanently affected my family.

This is personal. If you have questions about how much it’s affected my children I will be happy to tell you, just ask.

All three of my children were fed soy baby formula for the first year of their life.

It was considered the healthier way to formula feed – at the time wheat/gluten sensitivity was the bad guy. I was working full-time and breastfeeding just wasn’t going to be convenient or comfortable – if I only had the chance to make that choice again.

I encouraged my daughter, who is now a mother of two, to give her first born soy baby formula, she refused because she had been told by WIC (a California service agency, they supply nutritional information and provide dietary supplement to pregnant women, infants and children) that is was like feeding their babies sugar water. I felt bad for the poor nutrition choice I had made for them. It’s what this agency isn’t telling these women that really outrages me.

I came across this information because I suspected I may be having sensitivity to soy – it was in supplements I was taking and even found it in the green tea that I loved to drink – I felt like poison was coursing through my body and depression is unbearable - soy affects your thyroid, what I found brought me to tears.

Please take this information as that – just to make you aware.

Please open your mind and do what is best for you and your families.

" I'm not going to say this site is the answer but it might be a start in the right direction for you and your boys. It's a homemade recipe for baby formula and maybe it will work for you.
