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.

considering iodine toxicity in patients who present with thyrotoxicosis in the absence of TSH receptor antibodies and low or absent uptake on a thyroid technetium uptake scan; The name "Bonsoy" comes from the French meaning "wonderful soybeans". Created by Japanese soy masters perfected over many centuries, Bonsoy is a truly healthy and nutritious drink tthat froths as good as any dairy milk. Oat milk is a great choice for post-run recovery because of its carb, fibre and protein content. A 200ml glass provides approximately 10% of your daily fibre target, which is comparable to a serving of vegetables. It has less protein than cow’s milk but beats both nut and coconut milk hands down, and contains a similar number of calories to semi-skimmed milk. Coconut milkBonsoy soymilk is healthier and more nutritious: Bonsoy Soymilk is an excellent source of vegetable protein, has less than 5% fat and is low in cholesterol. Soy is a complete protein, making it the most nutrient-dense of the plant-based milks. With approximately 3.3g of high quality protein per 100ml, it’s comparable to dairy milk in this respect. It’s also a good source of vitamin B2, which helps convert food into energy. Choose unsweetened versions for maximum nutritional benefit. Oat milk Lattes are traditionally served in tall glasses but lots of places choose cups knowing that’s how Brits have traditionally consumed hot fluids.

measuring urinary iodine level in cases where thyrotoxicosis is not explained by conditions such as autoimmune or nodular thyroid disease; and Organic Story. Bonsoy. http://www.organicstory.com.sg/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=307 (accessed Apr 2010). This series of cases of thyroid dysfunction led to a national recall of Bonsoy milk on 24 December 2009, 7 and the distributer agreed to voluntary withdrawal of the product from sale in Australia. This brand of soy milk was fermented in seaweed, which is thought to improve the flavour, and is promoted as having wide-ranging health benefits. 1 The NSW Health alert for Bonsoy milk stated that in a child, ingestion of only 5 mL, and in an adult, only 30 mL, would exceed the safe upper limit of iodine intake. 8 , 9 It is unclear whether changes to the manufacturing process of the Bonsoy product may have increased its iodine content. However, after removal of kombu from the manufacturing process, the iodine content was reduced markedly (15 μg/L) and the product returned to the Australian market in April 2010. 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. No, Bonsoy soymilk as a finished product is not certified organic although we use certified 100% Organic whole soybeans.FSANZ is also coordinating further testing of a range of beverages enriched with seaweed and other seaweed containing products. Any found to have unsafe levels of iodine will be recalled. Bonsoy is also a healthy alternative for coconut milk or milk and sugar in the cooking of local dishes like curry or laksa.
