Yes, if you read guys like Ray Peat, it isn't so much the phytoestrogens in soy. It is that polyunsaturated fatty acids (aka "essential fatty acids") are themselves estrogenic and toxic in general. And soy bean oil is 70% polyunsaturated.
I have been trying to cut it out and it is a tricky thing, because it isn't some slightly gay soy protein powder that is the problem. It is in every restaurants deep fryer, every bag of chips and most premade foods at the grocery store.
The solutions (butter, cream, coconut oil) are tasty though, even if they aren't convenient.
