That rumor was started by the dairy industry and it's been backed by it's shareholders and also by a particular corporation that sells hormones to most of the world's dairy farmers.
Soy is very good for you.

That is new to me, I never heard that soy is bad for you in way of drinking it in the milk form, I have heard that the soy oil is not all of that great though, but if you are worried about as I can see you are, then try the Rice Dream or the Almond milk instead.
Or if you want the true form of Soy milk, go to an Asian market and pick up a jug of fresh Soy milk which does not have any added salt or sugar too it. If you never had it like this before you may want to start out by diluting it a little bit at a time in a glass until you get used to it.

Soy is not bad if taken in moderation.
What has happened is the increased demand for the product has made some producers use chemicals that are not so good for us.
As far as men goes it has been reported that so ya can increase the oestrogen level in men and thus reduce their fertility rates.
I read an article that mention it was equivalent to giving boys birth control pills.
If you like soy it is still okay to use it in it's fermented form without the same ill effects of tofu and soy milk.
Tamari , Noma Shoyu, miso are soya based but better due to the fermentation process.
You can also use Rice based products like rice milk, rice dream ( ice cream treats) etc.
So do not despair.

Dairy, smairy. There is no such thing as a requirment for dairy. The dairy industry lobbied to get dairy as a food group in the food pyramid. All the calcium you need can be obtained from vegetables.

When did soy become bad? You just shouldn't eat too much of the same thing and try to avoid the GMO (genetically modified) foods.

Too much soy can be bad for women in particular if they are trying to get pregnant, or for children, as it contains a similar chemical to the female hormone oestrogen (hence useful for some during menopause). I know because I kept miscarrying, 5 times, until I cut it out. So you're right to watch how much you eat.
Substitutes include rice and nut milks (almond is my fav). Quorn is also a good solid meat substitute, and comes in ground, patties, tenders and nugget form. Depends on if you are veggie or vegan, as quorn contains egg as a binder.

I drink soy milk, eat soy yogurt, ice cream, cheese, cream cheese and sour cream. When was it annouced it was "bad?" My doctor recommends it since I am highly allergic to both cow and goats milk.
I guess if you want to stay away from it, then you'll have to switch to rice milk or almond milk products.

Most soy is genetically modified with all sorts of nasty things. Try rice milk, almond milk, or a combination of those. Its super easy to make homemade, and you can adjust the ingredients. Also, check out rawmilk.com. I tolerated raw milk fine, but cannot tolerate commercial dairy at all
