There has been some research that is coming out that says that eating A LOT of soy can be harmful to women's reproductive health, brain development, infant growth and fertility. The studies are talking about EXCESSIVE consumption. I think that the 'everything in moderation' rule is a good one to stick too. For instance, if you are giving your kid soy milk you might not want to feed him a lot of tofu too or other soy products. That is just my opinion!

Soy is fine as long as it's not in extremely high amounts. Listen to your doctor. They won't tell you something is okay if it isn't.

If you research "forks over knives" it talks about how cow milk is actually not good for you. America is actually one of the few countries that drink cow milk after infancy. It just depends on the research you look at on what is better for you to drink and you make the choice. I would not give a child under 2 strictly soy milk because they need vitamin D our whole milk.
