I haven't heard that about juice.
I've heard something about soy containing estrogen (female hormones) mimics which can effect a guy, but it's probably something that people blow out of proportion.
Just found an article along those lines...
High Levels Of Plant Estrogen Found Soy-Based Baby Milk
LONDON -- July 4, 1997 -- Babies fed soy-based baby milk take in such large amounts of estrogen-like chemicals found in soy beans, that they are exposed to doses six to 11 times higher than those known to have hormonal effects in adults, U.S. researchers report in this week’s The Lancet.

Never heard of it before. I think its just a myth. Guys who exercise alot and do weights need to take extra protein for muscle build up. Its a body building food. Maybe they are saying it as a precaution for gout. Too much protein in the body will become uric acid which could crystalise and become gout. Especially guys who drink alot of beer. If you are an active man , dont worry, it will be burn into fuel for your energy. Its actually a healty alternative for meat.
