Is this an example of something stupid you've heard or do you actually believe eating soy alters hormone levels?

Soy has large amounts of naturally occurring isoflavones which mimic estrogen in the body. It doesn't affect how much estrogen you have or turn into it, just how well your body absorbs and uses it. Doctors have pretty much agreed it shouldn't be fed in high amounts to infants, children or people with hormonal disorders (like me). It's definitely something that should be looked at if you're in those three categories, otherwise unless you're chugging a gallon or two of soy juice everyday it doesn't matter.
