According to this article, North American soya is genetically altered & UNFERMENTED and is REALLY BAD for your health and it's in almost EVERYTHING.
Unfermented soy products, such as soy milk, tofu, soy burgers, soy nuts, soy formula, soy chips and soy ice cream - contain high levels of phytic acid or phytates which block the absorption of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and especially zinc in the intestinal tract. Unfermented soy also contains trypsin inhibitors and hemaglutinin that stunt human growth.
Unfermented soy may be linked to reduced male fertility, increased cancer risk, damaged brain function, developmental abnormalities in infants, and early onset of puberty.
Soya has high amounts of estrogen in it and it's in BABY FORMULA too.
