He has since experienced three middle ear infec- tions, and I’m wondering if this is a sign that he is allergic to soy. He is otherwise a healthy, happy infant of normal size and weight. Should I look for a non–soy based infant formula? Mrs. J.P. Public Lecture Answer: Although a sensitivity or allergy to soy protein is a possibility, in view of the lack of other Dr. Eileen Towata symptoms and your son’s normal rate of weight gain, I suspect soy sensitivity is not the December 13 problem. The cause of his ear infections may be in the physical relationship between the bottle and his head position. Middle ear infections are the most common cause of children visiting the doctor and the number one reason for prescribing antibiotics for infants. This epidemic, which results in severe pain for the children, distress for the parents, and millions of dollars spent on medication, doctor visits, and time missed from work—has its roots in a mechanism that is not widely appreciated by the public and health professionals. Parents learn early that giving their toddler a bottle filled with formula or juice is a quick and apparently benign way to transform an angry, distressed child into a contented, cooing one. The child loves nursing on the sweet liquid, and it is satisfying for parents to offer their ever–growing child a bottle full of nourishment. Thus this primordial act makes both the infant and parent feel Homemade soups & heartwarming better. foods are on the menu. Alas, many parents do not realize the high price that can be attached to this common and loving custom. A fact of anatomy is important to understand here.

  • Vegitarian Nutrition for Youth
    Vegetarian Nutrition for Youth Eating Being a vegetarian is more complex than just avoiding meat. A healthy vegetarian Well with Canada’s needs lots of variety from all four food groups in Canada’s Food Guide. To get the Food Guide nutrients you need to be healthy and feel energized, work towards checking off all of the questions below. Healthy Vegetarian Checklist: I enjoy eating a variety of foods. I eat meat alternatives such as beans, lentils, tofu, nut butters, and eggs everyday. I eat at least one dark green and one orange vegetable each day. At least half of my grain products are whole grains. I drink milk or milk alternatives (e.g., fortified/enriched soy beverages) everyday. Create your own vegetarian food guide using “My Food Guide” link on the Health Canada website www.healthcanada.gc.ca/foodguide. Making the switch: One of the most important things about being a vegetarian is replacing meat with an alternative. Here are a few ideas to get you started: • Add beans, lentils, eggs or nuts to salads and sandwiches or just eat them on their own. • Replace meat with tofu or beans in spaghetti sauce, lasagna, and stir-fries • Try meat replacements like veggie patties, veggie ground round, tofu “chicken” and veggie sausages • Spread nut or seed butters on whole wheat bread or toast When eating out, try dishes from different cultures: • Chickpea curry or daal with rice • Falafel or hummus with pita • Bean burritos, taco or enchiladas • Vegetarian moussaka and lentil soup • Noodle bowl with tofu and Asian vegetables • Edamame,
