It’s 15 years old and has been refuted by a meta analysis some years later. See the current top comment here at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22345421
Hmm. Perhaps that would be better to mention in the thread so as to allow people to consider that for themselves. Flagging the thread based on a disagreement about the validity of the source material seems counter-productive and like something that would be more appropriate to discuss in the thread itself.
I would also like to know why. I suspect because it has strong potential for controversial tangents. That said I and I suspect others am highly interested in the effects of proteins I consume. I know I avoided soy for a long time because of this study but have now suspected for years (and the current research seems to support this) that there is little concern with soy as a protein source with regards to testosterone levels.
