Soya baby milk not a risk to infants

Soya-based baby milk containing gender-bending chemicals does not appear to pose a risk to infants, experts said yesterday. The Government issued new health advice telling parents who use soya-based formulae on medical grounds to continue to do so. Parents who opt for soya-based milk for non-medical reasons were advised to consult their GP.

Soya products contain phytoestrogens which have been linked to infertility in animals.
