We wish to thank Professor Prinsloo for his comments on our paper.1 He correctly points out some similarities in the findings of our study on soy-based formula in premature infants and the study in which he participated.2 We found that nitrogen retention was significantly lower, urinary nitrogen excretion (% of intake) was significantly higher, and serum urea nitrogen was significantly higher in soy protein formula-fed infants than in milk formula-fed infants. However, we do not feel that it is justified to conclude from these findings that soy protein is of suboptimal quality.
