Malicious article...
It's phytoestrogen, and not true estrogen. I bet the bovine hormones are worse. Anyway phytoestrogen have a touch slight positive effect on women and not a bad effect on man. It have no feminilization effect for men.
About antinutrients on soy, it's another thing used to try to curse soy, since many other things have antinutrient, like beans, wheat, and anyway the high temperature use to extrude soy into texturate pieces destroys the antinutrients.
About agrotoxics, it's a bad side, but guess what, animals used to produce meat acumulate more agrotoxics than soy, since they ate soy, corn and other grain,s used to produce their ration. And we can mention all the toxic products used to treat bovines, and antibiotics and sometimes even synthetic hormones. All that went to the steak at your plate.
About GMO, it depends... Some today are mentioned to require more herbsides and agrotoxis, like the one developed by Monsanto, despite some othe informs said it requeired less.
But there are other GMO soy brands being developed just to be resistant to some insects and fungus, and not to be resistent to herbisides.
