The meat and dairy industry have a LOT of money to spend to make sure people continue to consume, and it's not all for "got milk?" and "beef, it's what's for dinner". I'll leave it at that. Please do not fall victim to anti soy propaganda. No, you shouldn't eat nothing but soy - you should eat a balanced diet, and get a variety of protein sources. Not just frozen fake meat from morningstar farms and soy ice cream.
I agree with you that there are much bigger cancer risks than soy that vegans are already avoiding, but I've had friends work on the soy research first hand so I believe there may be something to it, even if the answer is not yet clear.
