Very fussy or extremely fussy infants were randomized to receive: soy-based formula (Soy: n = 82) or a partially hydrolyzed cow's milk protein (CMP), low-lactose formula (PHF: n = 77) in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel, prospective 28-day feeding trial. Body weight and infant formula tolerance were reported. Adverse events were recorded throughout the study. A significant redu...

The diagnosis and treatment of cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is still a challenge. A systematic literature search was performed using Embase, Medline, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Clinical Trials for the diagnosis and treatment of cow's milk allergy (CMA). Since none of the symptoms of CMPA is specific and since there is no sensitiv...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent studies suggest that calcium metabolism and perhaps other components of dairy products may contribute to shifting the energy balance and thus play a role in weight regulation. We compared the effects of cows' milk, calcium fortified soy milk and calcium supplement on weight and body fat reduction in premenopausal overweight and obese women. METHODS AND RESULTS In th...

OBJECTIVES This paper reported the effects of commonly used whole soy foods (soy flour) and purified daidzein (one of the major isoflavones and the precursor of equol) on changes in anthropometric measurements and body composition in a 6-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial among prehypertensive postmenopausal women who are also equol producers. METHODS 270 eligible women ...

Many brands of soy-based infant formulas are commercially available in any supermarket. Soy-based infant formulas have been in use for more than 100 years [1] and continue to be very popular as a nutritional supplement for growing infants. Recent findings in soy research even suggest that the phytoestrogens in soy may contribute to a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and a lesseni...

Results In such period, 100 new patients were seen, mainly comprised of male (64%). Most patients (69%) were under 6 months old at the time of their first visit. In 41% of the patients, the first contact with cow’s milk protein occurred before 1 month old and only 21% had such contact after 6 months of age. One (1%) patient had symptoms with no direct exposure to cow’s milk (allergy linked to b...

BACKGROUND Food protein-induced enterocolitis (FPIES) is a rare non-IgE mediated disease. Most studies have been limited in nature, with the largest cohort being 66 patients. The most common foods that have been reported are milk and soy. OBJECTIVE A retrospective chart review of patients seen in the Allergy Section at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia with International Classification ...

Encapsulation of sensitive compounds in amorphous, glassy wall materials may protect them from environmental factors causing their loss during storage of food ingredients and foods. The stability of αtocopherol (2.5%, w/w, based on non-fat solids) in freeze-dried lactose-milk protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), lactose-soy protein isolate-olive oil (3:1:2), trehalose-milk protein isolate-olive o...

months old; product of the first pregnancy of a young mother with history of asthma during childhood, obtained by cesarean section. He received maternal human milk combined with normal infant formulae since birth to 5 months of age when he started other foods. He presented skin perioral rash with the ingestion of apple and sometimes with infant formulae and gastroenterologist changed to extense...
