This is quackery, as shown by this meta-study: "Soybean isoflavone exposure does not have feminizing effects on men" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20378106.

Mark Messina (the study's author) is a shill for the soy industry.

"M.M. regularly consults for companies that manufacture and/or sell soyfoods and/or isoflavone supplements, and he is the executive director of the Soy Nutrition Institute[0], a science-based organization that is funded in part by the soy industry and the United Soybean Board."[1]

More people would trust science if more scientists were not whores.
