[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My OB told me no soy in the 1st trimester and then once a week after that would be the limit. [/quote] No offense, but your OB gave you some very outdated information. Soy, as part of a regular diet, has not been known to create any adverse effects during pregnancy or after. High doses of soy may decrease fertility, and are therefore not recommended. The high doses were equivalent to drinking three 12-ounce glasses of soy milk (60 g soy protein equivalent to 45 mg of isoflavones) for a month. The Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Am J Clin Nutr 1994 Sep;60(3):333-40) Soy is also in almost every single food you eat. So unless you never eat out or buy a single pre-packaged food (and I don't just mean junk food), there's a good chance you consumed soy. [/quote]
