from what i've read, the estrogen-like action of soy is several thousand times weaker than actual estrogen.
so, soy actually MODERATES a person's estrogen receptivity by binding with estrogen receptor sites, thus blocking those sites from being bound with actual estrogen, thus blocking the effects of estrogen in the body.
i do think it is important to stick with organic, non-GMO soybeans, and also to stick with real food (like tofu, soymilk, tempeh, edamame) instead of food dreamed up by some crazy guy in a lab coat.
