| Scientists Protest Soy Approval in Unusual Letter |
 | At this time it's recommended that:
• Infants not be given soy-based formula until more research is done on safety in regard to neonatal sexual development and its effects on thyroid suppression.
• Men not use soy products until more research is done on its effects on Testosterone and testicular function.
• Weight-training individuals who hope for increased muscle hypertrophy not use soy protein until more research is done on effects of decreased Testosterone, increased cortisol levels and muscle protein breakdown. |

| In Brief:
Weight control is not simply a matter of willpower. Genes help determine the body's "set point," which is defended by the brain.
Dieting alone is rarely successful, and relapse rates are high.
Moderate exercise, too, rarely results in substantive long-term weight loss, which requires intensive exercise. |
