COMMITTEE ON TOXICITY OF CHEMICALS IN FOOD, CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Review of potential risks from high levels of soy phytoestrogens in infant diet
ثبت نشده
چکیده
1. The COT has been asked to consider aspects related to the toxicity of chemicals in the infant diet, in support of a review by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) of Government recommendations on complementary and young child feeding. An initial paper (TOX/2012/03), highlighting some of the areas requiring consideration was discussed by the COT in February, 2012. Members agreed that a comprehensive review of soy phytoestrogens in infant diet would be prepared as a substantial amount of new evidence had become available since the COT report on phytoestrogens and health was published in May 2003. In this paper, Members are invited to comment on the new information and advise on any toxicological implications for the health of infants.
