Caros Colegas da Red Alergia,
Reenvio esta mensagem voltando a chamar a atenção para este grave
problema que se abate sobre nós.
É especialmente direcionada aos colegas do Cone Sul onde permite-se o
plantio e comercialização da soja transgênica. Lembro aos colegas
brasileiros da região sul que porcentagem significativa da soja
cultivada e comercializada foi contrabandeada da Argentina e Paraguay
desde o início de 1998, ainda que proibida pela legislação brasileira.
Devemos considerar também a importação de subprodutos para processamento
industrial.
Este problema assume proporções catastróficas quando consideramos que
os subprodutos de soja compõem a maioria dos alimentos industrializados,
através da lecitina, proteína texturizada, leite para crianças, etc.
Caso queiram maiores detalhes podem olhar:

reference collection and suspect that there is a fair body of evidence to
support soya allergy. It was first noted as an occupational allergen. The
following has been taken from a booklet produced by Kabi Pharmacia who produce
allergens for testing.

> Soybean is the world's most important legume it can be fresh, processed into
soybean flour or pressed for oil. Soya bean oil is used for many purposes -
salad oil, margarine and industrial components, linoleum, in the glue industry
where it is considered an occupational allergen, fermented as soya sauce.

considered a safe substitute for children showing adverse reactions to cow's
milk, evidence suggests the contrary. Around 25% o cow's milk sensitive people
became allergic to soya protein. Soya is often quoted as one of the foods that
cause IgE mediated reactions in children. With its expanding use as a
processing aid and substitute in many foods, a higher level of reactions can be
expected. While soya sensitive children are not necessarily milk sensitive
they show a high correlation to pea and peanut.

> Soya bean was fund to contain several antigenic components with considerable
cross reactivity with other legumes. There are reports of IgE mediated
symptoms to ingestion of peas, beans, lentils, peanuts and soya beans. Soya
protein has been found in soybean lecithin, margarine and occasional in soya
oil. Aflatoxin has also been found in soya. One study identified a specific
IgE antibody response to the polypeptide, the Kunitz soybean trypsin inhibitor
(Moroz, 1980).
