My understanding is that fermented soy products and the non-fermented ones
are two very different kettles of fish. I remember reading somewhere to that
in the Asian countries they don't drink plain soy or eat plain soy/tofu a
great deal - not like most of those in North America whom eat soy products.
Most
of the soy they do ingest is in the fermented form. There are many articles
about soy on the Weston Price Foundation.

Describes the historical use of fermented soy products in China and the
dangers of non-fermented soy products being marketed as healthy in America
today,

* High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium,
magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by
ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow
cooking.
High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children.
* Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may
cause pancreatic disorders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors
caused stunted growth.
* Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential
to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women.
* Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause
hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy
formula
has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease.
* Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase
the body's requirement for B12.
* Soy foods increase the body's requirement for vitamin D.
* Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to
make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein.
* Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic
lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines.
* Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy
food processing and additional amounts are added to many soy foods.
* Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the
nervous system and the kidneys.

I see no lack of fertility (or 'gayness' )with the
Asian population and soy is used everywhere in Asia.
But if it is proven to be "feminizing" then all the
more reason to just use it as diesel fuel and not eat
it!
