SOY. Is it safe?

I receive articles from Newsmax daily. This is one I thought many people should read. I am on the fence about soy. From my reading, I have found that fermented soy products appear to be safe, but all other soy products are not. In order to get all of the information, one must subscribe to the newsletter, but I think the synopsis below gives a lot of information without reading the entire article.

Inside: The Real Soy Story of a Dangerous
Tale of Hidden Lies Endangering Your Health


Dear Newsmax Reader,
I don't consider myself a gullible sort of person.
As a matter of fact, I'd like to say I'm pretty good at recognizing when someone's being dishonest — or trying to dupe me into doing something that's not good for me.
But, I have to admit . . . Even I was taken in by the whole ‘soy-is-healthy-and-good-for-you' story told by everyone from my local health food store clerk to the FDA.
They talk a good talk, touting all the so-called amazing health benefits of the plentiful soybean.
And I believed the FDA and the media when they said soy was helpful in strengthening bones, calming menopausal symptoms in women, and even improving a man's libido.
Why wouldn't I? I mean, it's soy . . .
A simple bean from nature's bounty of wholesome, nutritious foods, right? One we've been led to believe provides healthy food products for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.
They say it's harmless, tasty, and packed with health-promoting goodness. And the FDA wouldn't lie about that, would they?
Well, that's what I thought until I discovered . . ..
The Frightening Truth About Soy
You see, what the FDA, the media, and especially the soy industry would rather you not know is this:
Consuming large quantities of soy and soy-based foods actually puts you at risk for severe hormonal imbalances — as well as many other serious health issues.
And unfortunately, just trying to avoid soy milk or soy foods isn't enough.
Because according to Newsmax medical editor Dr. David Brownstein, a highly processed, devitalized, and potentially toxic soy protein isolate is present in nearly 60% of all the food you buy at your local grocery store.
Unbeknownst to you, these health-damaging soy isolates are added to many food products you consume every day (including meat) — to enhance flavor, improve texture, and increase the protein content.
After all, Asian people eat a lot of tofu and other soy foods — don't they?
Well, that's what the soy industry would like you to believe. But the reality is — they don't eat very much at all . . . maybe a couple of tablespoons a day, if that.
Soy isn't a staple in their diet, it's merely a condiment.
Could it be the Asian culture knows something we don't about soy and its potentially harmful qualities?
If you must eat soy — play it safe by choosing only fermented soy foods . . .
