Reply #16: I have posted about AD-36 for years. Soy might be another factor

[unc70]

As I have posted repeatedly, I think that the impact of AD-36 has been significant, particularly when you look at morbid obesity and its spread over time on a county-by=county basis. Likely aided somewhat by insects -- think pink eye.

There is a growing body of research that implicates the addition of soy to many prepared foods and the increased use of soy in infant formula as a risk factor in several areas. My confidence level is lower on this research than on the adenovirus work, but it still looks like a possible issue. Its characteristics are too close to those of DES to be ignored.
