I came across The Soy Controversy by Vreni Gurd which sheds some disturbing news on the consumption of soy and soy products
It looks like soy might be causing more harm than good.
There were a couple of things that were of particular note.
One was how many things come from soy where there is no indication that to be the case. The following are at least a partial list of some items
and another was that Asians don't eat as much soy as we (at least me) have been led to believe. This from Myths & Truths About Soy by the Weston A Price Foundation
You really need to read both posts, The Soy Controversy, and Myths & Truths About Soy in their entirety.

Average consumption of soy foods in Japan and China is 10 grams (about 2 teaspoons) per day. Asians consume soy foods in small amounts as a condiment, and not as a replacement for animal foods.
