What the study found
Soy formula holds a quarter of the market on very narrow grounds
The American Academy of Pediatrics puts soy protein formula at close to 25 percent of the United States formula market while describing the medical indications for choosing it as very limited. The gap is about how widely it is used, not about whether it is toxic.
The caveat · Report is nearly two decades old
This is a professional body's clinical report rather than primary data, and it is nearly two decades old. Its published abstract states that it reviews potential harms without saying what it concluded about them, so nothing about safety can be read off it. The market figure is United States only.
