Yep, they ate a ton of FERMENTED soy traditionally. Fermentation is the key there. Big food killed fermentation and traditional forms of food preservation that increase the foods nutritional value as it ages like fine wine. Replaced it with toxic chemicals and keeping things chilled.
Meat keeps a few weeks in the fridge, a couple years in the freezer, a decade or more in a can, hundreds of years hanging from a rope in open air and salt cured or in pemican.
Food only rots if you waste it. Our ancestors knew how to preserve food indefinitely, the only reason they struggled is because they had a lack of knowledge about sanitation and disease vectors.
Soy isn't the only plant loaded with phytoestrogens lol they also used least as an artificial sweetener.
Humans are meant to eat fish, grazing animals and fruit when it's in season. Everything else, save for a handful of plants, requires pre-processing to be digestible and long term chronically safe to eat.
Like cassava, it's a staple food, it's also full of cyanide. Beans: full of lectins and endocrine dusrupters. Corn, needs to be nixtamalised or else it's not actually food. Etc...
The only reason we eat plants in the level we do is because we overhunted all the massive grazing animals that we evolved on eating. We were too successful.

Plenty of Romans and Greeks were raving botters and I doubt that they ate much soy or had chemicals in the water.

I thought that was because of lead in the wine from the containers they kept it in.
