Did you know that feeding
your baby soy formula in the
first six months of life may
increase your child's chances of
developing a soy allergy?
If you have any food allergies,
try to breast feed your baby for
at least the first six months of
life. Avoid eating soy and
peanut products during this
time.
Pizza may be the last
place you expect soy - but think
again! Some
restaurants use soy cheese on
their pizzas. Always ask the
cook if the cheese contains soy,
explaining you have a serious
allergy to it. And while you are
at it, remember that the
pepperoni might contain soy.
What else might contain soy?
Machine oil, printer's ink,
flour and grits. If you
have a soy allergy, do not take
vitamin E.

Soy Allergy |
 |
|
| Are you allergic to soy? Then
it is important you avoid bulking agents, lecithin,
emulsifiers, protein, protein filler and protein
extender. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein and
hydrolyzed plant protein may include soy as well.
If you have a soy allergy, avoid Asian restaurants.
Monosodium glutamate (msg) is often added to Asian
food, as are oils and sauces that may contain soy.
Beware of food products with seasonings,
shortenings, stabilizers or thickeners listed as an
ingredient. Vegetable gum, starch, oil or
proteins may include soy. Powdered meat
replacers and deli meats can have soy too.
Many sauces and margarines contain soy.
Surprisingly, the cream centers of chocolate candies
may as well. Avoid protein bars if you are
allergic to soy. Some hygiene products and
cosmetics have soy added to them.
