Question about oil during massage

December 31, 2001

The oil, that my massage therapist uses, contains soy oil. Is that

a problem on the LID?

Dear Mark

Soy is not a problem on the LID, it doesn't contain abnormal iodine levels.

Soy is contraindicated because of chemical effects that it has on the body

because of ingredients called isoflavones, especially one called Genistein. I

suggest that you search the yahoo website for Genistein for more information.

Soy oil contains very little of the isoflavones, I don't know how much

genistein it contains.

Are isoflavones absorbed through the skin? The molecular size is high at 270,

so it seems unlikely, but I doubt that anyone can give you a promise.
