he said he was lactose intolerant... which is why he's drinking soy^_^ But really we drink that lactose free milk, it tastes just fine, but really I only drink milk with cereal, so I don't know how good it is to drink straight.
My baby drinks soy formula, only because a lactose free baby milk doesn't exist afaik.. He had problems on the regular milk."
I know, but he also commented on soy milk causing cancer, which was what I was talking about.
Soy is very, very dangerous. You might want to read

Edit-- to quote the specific section of one of the articles:
Quote: "The most serious concerns regarding soy foods involve the use of soy infant formula.
Sardi cites a 1998 Nutrition Reviews article by K. O. Klein of duPont Hospital for Children as proof that soy infant formulas do no harm.
Yet in the article Klein notes that effects of isoflavones on various animal species include hormonal changes, increased uterine weight and infertility. " It is clear from the literature," says Klein, "that different species and different tissues are affected by isoflavones in markedly different ways.
It is difficult to know which tissue, if any, are affected in infants, and the variation among species makes extrapolation to infants inappropriate." This is scientific double talk.
Scientists may be reluctant to extrapolate but parents would certainly err on the side of caution if they knew that "isoflavones affect different tissues in markedly different ways." Klein says that medical literature provides "no evidence of endocrine effects. . and no changes in timing of puberty."
But she makes no mention of the Puerto Rican study which found that consumption of soy formula correlated strongly with early maturation in girls."
There's more of course, there always is with things people feel strongly on with this, there are way too many articles for me to even skim through on that page. You just might want to have a look.
