A Comprehensive Review of Sensitization and Allergy to Soy-Based Products (original) (raw)

Soy Preparations Are Potentially Dangerous Factors in the Course of a Food Allergy

Foods, 2019

The special properties of soy preparations make them common additives for food production and can be dangerous for sensitive individuals. Our aim was to check consumers’ awareness of potential risks of soy preparations added to numerous food products, depending on respondents’ education, and to evaluate immunoreactive properties of chosen soy preparations. A personal questionnaire was used. Respondents (n = 251) were aged 23–28 years old, lived in Poland, and were graduates or students in their last year of food technology, medicine, and university of technology. The slot blot and Western blotting methods were used to mark immunoreactivity of soy preparations. It was shown that most respondents often or usually read labels of food products they buy. The surveyed indicated protein is the allergenic component in soy. Almost half of them were of the opinion that hydrolysis removes the allergenic properties of soy. Most of the medical students surveyed thought that people allergic to so...

Comparisons of a chicken-based formula with soy-based formula in infants with cow milk allergy

Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2007

To determine whether chicken-based formula can replace soy-based formula in infants with cow milk allergy. Thirty-eight infants with cow's milk allergy, aged between 2-24 months of age were randomized to receive either chicken-based formula or soy-based formula for 14 days. In the group of soy-based formula, 12 out of 18 infants had evidence of intolerance and could not continue with the formula. However, only 4 out of 20 infants in the chicken-based formula group had evidence of clinical intolerance. All other 16 infants were fed the chicken-based formula with success. The number of infants who were intolerant to chicken formula was significantly lower than the number of those fed soy-based formula (p = 0.009). Chicken-based formula can be used more effectively than soy-based formula in infants with cow milk allergy.

Soy allergy following early soy feeding in neonates

The Israel Medical Association journal : IMAJ, 2010

B ACKGROUND:Feeding neonates with humanized milk formula in maternity hospitals may increase the prevalence of milk allergy in infants. However, prospective studies of the possible allergenic effect of very early soy-based formula feeding are lacking. To assess the prevalence of soy allergy in infants fed soy-based formula in the first 3 days of life. The study group included 982 healthy full-term infants born within a 7 month period at a hospital that routinely uses soy-based formula to supplement breastfeeding. In-hospital feeding was recorded and the parents were interviewed once monthly over the next 6 months regarding feeding practices and clinical symptoms suggesting soy allergy in the infant. Ninety-nine percent of the infants received soy-based formula supplement in hospital, and 33%-42% at home. No cases of immediate allergic reaction to soy or soy-induced enterocolitis were reported. The use of soy-based formula in the early neonatal period does not apparently increase the...
