I made this devil's food cake for you without any soy, using only real whole cow's milk and real eggs. I promise it will not do anything but increase masculinity, why, it might even be called the *Wonder Bread* of chocolate cakes in that it will "build strong bodies 12 ways."
Dr. Mercola - "Soy formula is one of the worst foods that you could feed your child. Not only does it have profoundly adverse hormonal effects as discussed above, but it also has over 1000% more aluminum than conventional milk based formulas.

Mercola is no better at providing factual information based on sound science than the rest of your links. All this nonsense about soy is nothing more than alarmist propagated by the toxic terrorists who are either misguided scientists or charlatans trying to make a quick buck -- or both.
Even worse, they've discovered a food that reduces a woman's sex drive by 90%. It's called a Wedding Cake.
I ate szechuan tofu today for lunch, but it does not make me want to look at some guys hairy @$$.

I assume you can back up what you stated here with proof based in fact.
FYI:
"As currently configured, the FDA is not able to adequately protect the American public. It's more interested in protecting the interests of industry. It views industry as its client, and the client is someone whose interest you represent."
- Dr. David Graham, senior drug safety researcher at the Food and Drug Administration, and Vioxx whistleblower

Sure. Without linking me to endless studies from Mercola or some other alarmist source, what specifically do believe is dangerous about soy?
Hahaha, South Park flash - "So big!" ;)
Good grief. You don't understand the FDA at all. The FDA is motivated by politics, public opinion and not making mistakes. Just because some researcher makes a claim doesn't make it so. The FDA and industry, for the most part, have a very adversarial relationship. They have nothing to gain from helping industry. The FDA treats industry as bad as everyone else.
They are certainly not perfect or infallible but they are absolutely light years better than what existed before. They are bureaucrats of the worst kind who sit on drugs and treatments that could save or improve lives because they're scared to make a mistake however, we operate better than any other country in the world.
BTW, I believe Vioxx will make it back to the market but with many more limitations, despite what Dr. Graham, disgruntled former employee, has to say. Of course, that's besides the point. Humans have been consuming soy for thousands of years. We consume more today per capita then ever before. Our health and life expectancy have never been better. If the FDA had solid research proving that soy was harmful, especially to children, they'd act on it. They don't because that research doesn't exist.
Better watch out, or you'll become feminine.
Good grief, that was from the article, not me....
Are you saying only the FDA has credibility?
It's good to be the King ...
....there is a certain humor value; I'm LMAO right now.
I've worked with the FDA on the food side of the industry and I would agree that they are credible, although they can be a bureaucratic nightmare. Our food supply offers the most variety greatest safety in the world. There is no love between industry and the FDA. From what I know about the drug side, their relationship depends on who is running the agency but that their relationship is also highly adversarial. You can understand why that would be when the cost of bringing a new drug to market is now $800 million. I am unfamiliar with the medical equipment area of their oversight.
Soy is also damaging to the thyroid. Women who are having problems losing weight despite diet and exercise should make absolutely sure they eliminate soy from their diet.
Baloney, I just had a glass of soy milk. Now excuse me, I'm going to spin some Striesand records and do some home redecorating. Maybe chiffon.
Not only does soy contain estrogens, they are genetically modifying it on a regular basis.
