I think I am just a little paranoid about soy because of all the bad things I have read about it. It is known that soy is a potent hormone disruptor. There are so many other things also linked to soy. My daughter has 3 sons, ages 10, 16 and 17. The youngest and the oldest were both diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 4 years ago. Both of them were given soy formula as babies but not the middle one. After that I read that children given soy formula are much more likely to develop type 1 diabetes. Also soy is linked to thyroid disorders. I just worry about the long term effects when taking products with soy and soybean oil. All the sow being used in all these products has been genetically modified. I know this probably has nothing to do with your problem but I just thought it was worth bringing to you attention. From my experience, a 3 1/2 year old female should be at her prime. I don't usually start seeing a reduced size in litters until the females are 6 years old. It could have just been a timing issue. |
