And likening the growth nutrition needs of infants to those of adults is also loopy

Someone did that? Where?

I did see where someone compared feeding an infant soy based formula to feeding them five birth control pills a day. Do you agree with that craziness?

Have the numbers you cited been evaluated in infants

Yes, it's true. Infants need a lot of high quality protein from their formula, or from breastfeeding, to properly develop. And if they cannot consume cow milk based formula, soy milk formula is an excellent alternative.

Long-Term Look At The Safety Of Soy-Based Infant Formula

From the link: To understand whether hormone-like chemicals in soy products may influence sexual development in children, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have revisited a study on soy-based infant formula begun over thirty years ago. Their results, published in this week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, reaffirm the safety of soy infant formula and offer evidence against the harmful effects of soy that have been presented in the popular media. According to their findings, soy formula does not appear to lead to any more health or reproductive problems than cow milk formula.

Cholesterol consumption does not automatically equate to cholesterol levels within the blood.

This is true.. We've known for a long time that human genetics will exert greater influence over serum cholesterol levels than diet.

And who pays for the “studies” at universities? Soy companies, pharmaceutical companies — all looking for an outcome.
