Bonsoy Non Organic Milk 1 Litre (Pack of 6)

Product Information

Bonsoy is made mainly from organically grown soybeans, which contain only vegetable proteins and has no animal cholesterol content. Upon arrival in Singapore, each batchis then tested for radiation and must pass safety standards before sale. Bonsoy is made by bulling and splitting a select variety of organic soya beans. The beans are cooked and finely ground with purified hot water in a patented process that gives Bonsoy its unique mellow flavour. No artificial additives and preservatives added. No added colours, chemicals or flavours. No added oils. No kombu (sea vegetables) added. 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).

No added refined sugar to sweeten this prized drink except with the natural tapioca syrup, so it will not be as sweet as other brands. Oat milk is a great choice for post-run recovery because of its carb, fibre and protein content.

No further cases of suspected iodine toxicity were seen until approximately 1 year later, when six additional patients presented to one of us (B A C) over a 6-week period (Patients 3–8, Box 1). These patients presented with thyroid conditions ranging from subclinical hyperthyroidism to florid thyrotoxicosis. Patient 3 had already been diagnosed with thyrotoxicosis due to underlying iodine toxicity (urinary iodine level, 11 427μg/L); however, the source of excess iodine was not identified until she sought a second opinion. One month after she ceased consuming Bonsoy milk (which she had been consuming for the previous 8 years), her serum TSH level normalised. Food Standards Australia New Zealand.

In November 2008, a 36-year-old woman (Patient 1, Box 1) presented with a mildly elevated serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level detected during screening for in vitro fertilisation. As she tested negative for thyroid antibodies, her urinary iodine level was measured to exclude iodine deficiency; this level was markedly elevated at 4445 μg/L (reference range [RR], < 200 μg/L). The source of the excess iodine was unclear until the patient did an internet search and identified that the soy milk she had been drinking (Bonsoy) contained kombu 1 , 2 — a type of seaweed. The patient ceased drinking the soy milk, which resulted in rapid normalisation of her TSH level. Three months later, a 38-year-old man (Patient 2, Box 1) presented with florid thyrotoxicosis. Minimal uptake of technetium on a thyroid scan and absence of TSH receptor antibodies essentially excluded Graves disease. The scan result, in combination with his elevated urinary iodine level (1278 μg/L), indicated that iodine toxicity was the most likely cause of the thyrotoxicosis. He drank brands of soy milk other than Bonsoy, but also drank Bonsoy in takeaway coffee. After he ceased drinking all soy milk, his symptoms rapidly abated and his serum TSH level normalised 3 months later.
