An aliquot of Bonsoy milk was analysed for iodine content using a plasma mass spectrometer (Department of Biochemistry, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW), which showed an iodine concentration of 25 000 μg/L. In comparison, the levels of iodine in other soy milks that were analysed ranged from 15 μg/L to 281 μg/L ( Box 2). The common practice by women from Japan and Korea of ingesting seaweed made into soup, sometimes in large quantities, to promote wellbeing in the mother and stimulate breast milk supply, does not appear to be widely known in the medical community. However, due to iodine transmission through breast milk, transient or even persistent hypothyroidism has been reported in neonates born to mothers who undertake this practice. 12 , 13 If left undiagnosed and untreated, neonatal hypothyroidism can have devastating clinical consequences, including impaired intellectual development. Although newborn screening tests will help to identify hypothyroidism during the first week of life, there is no subsequent routine screening of thyroid function in term babies whose TSH level may not increase until after 1 week of age, as seen in one of the neonatal cases described here and in a Korean study of preterm infants. 12In 2010, a soy milk product containing kombu seaweed was recalled following nine cases of people with thyroid problems. The product was subsequently reformulated to make it safe to consume and was returned to sale. The following information was provided at the time. There is no gluten in any of the ingredients used to make the Bonsoy Soy Milk. Can you buy Bonsoy in the UK?
