All the great news we heard about soy foods in the 1980s and 90's was information provided to us by the SOY INDUSTRY.
They hired health professionals [Doctors, researchers] "to advance the good word on soy foods" , and got them to make it appear as if they were saying it themselves,keeping it quiet that they were paid to do it by the soy industry. They made it out to be a super good "health food".
It was ALL good news that the public heard concerning soy, but all the facts about soy are not good news - we were only told part of what they KNEW!!!
What researcher could possibly miss the bad facts about soy , facts that were known by soy scientists since the beginning of the soy expansion into North America?
Common problems, not things that are difficult to understand, including allergens that are similiar to peanut allergy, as well as a substantial cancer risk from naturally occuring SOY TOXINS.
This is not conjecture - soy has allergens and toxins.
Here is a piece explaining it more:

Is soy bad for you?
It contains high quantities of various toxic chemicals, which cannot be fully destroyed even by the long cooking process. These are: phytates, which block the body's uptake of minerals; enzyme inhibitors, which hinder protein digestion; and haemagluttin, which causes red blood cells to clump together and inhibits oxygen take-up and growth. Most controversially of all, soy contains high levels of the phytoestrogens (also known as isoflavones) genistein and daidzein, which mimic and sometimes block the hormone oestrogen. [/quote]

PROFIT vs RISK
The soybean industry knows that some people experience severe allergic reactions to its products. In a recent petition to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Protein Technologies International (PTI) identified “allergenicity” as one of the “most likely potential adverse effects associated with ingestion of large amounts of soy products.” Yet PTI somehow concluded that “the data do not support that they would pose a substantial threat to the health of the US population.”10
This statement is hardly reassuring to the many children and adults who suffer allergies to soy products. And it ignores a substantial body of evidence published during the 1990s showing that some of these people only learn for the first time about their soy allergies after experiencing an unexpectedly severe or even life-threatening reaction. Although severe reactions to soy are rare compared to reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish, Swedish researchers recently concluded, “Soy has been underestimated as a cause of food anaphylaxis.” 11

PS - as usual, it is a corporate ploy to get consumers to spend their money on something that is not what it seems.
They have no concerns for the deaths and illnesses that their products may cause. In fact, the medical industry might give them incentives to produce harmfull products.
Note that they are allways carefull to produce and sell us products that do not have obvious bad effects, but instead it is allways long term and slow onset problems that cannot be obviously traced to one product. What we know for sure, where the evidence can be found, is that the cancer rates aare skyrocketing, and people are much more allergic and generally sick that we need to be. An increase in carcinogenic substances must be the reason, and those are surely coming from the toxins we know are in toxic products.
