Is it safe to drink soy milk while pregnant?

Answer 1

Very likely, yes. The only theoretical concerns with soymilk lie in the fact that soy is high in isoflavones and phyto-estrogens, plant hormones which act as weak estrogens in the body. Trying to determine their exact effect has been difficult. One study linked levels of soy consumption of the pregnant mother inversely to the male child's penis size- the more soy consumed during pregnancy, the smaller the penis, but this was only an observational study, not an experimental one, so it's not known if the soy actually caused a reduction in penis size, or if other factors were at play. Again, it's not as though the study could pinpoint soy as the cause for these findings. A moderate soy intake will probably not cause any trouble. Consult your OBGYN if you have any other questions.

Answer 2

Yes it is. Tofu is one of the healthiest things you can eat. Specially if you`re pregnant. It`s even healthier to eat tofu than to eat meat!

Actually there are conflicting answers to this question and I am not convinced.

Answer 3

There is nothing inherently dangerous in soy sauce but it does have a lot of salt so if your doctor has told you to limit your salt or sodium intact, don't eat too much.

Answer 4

You can eat tofu during pregnancy. You should not eat sushi with your tofu. Sushi has too many bacteria in it for you to eat.

Answer 5

Tofu is very good to eat during pregnancy. It has vitamins in it and it is natural.

Answer 6

Yes, as long as it hasn't spoiled.

Answer 7

No
