Soya formula for babies
The National Toxicology Program (NTP) – an American institution – released its draft opinion on the potential of soya infant formula to cause adverse human developmental effects. Soya formula was labelled as being of “minimal” concern level and one of the experts stated that soya formulas have been used for over 50 years without reports of negative reproductive or developmental effects.
