When I hear the word "vegan" I think of a person that spends so much time thinking about food and nutrition science that they just have to tell you all about it.
They are one of my canaries in the metaphorical food safety coal mine. I am usually annoyed by all their incessant twittering, but if they ever actually fell silent, I'd be very alarmed.
In all probability, from what I think I know, the phytoestrogens from soy-based foods are far less concerning than the bisphenol-A (BPA) in food-contacting plastics and thermal receipt paper. My profiler says to take care of the biggest problems first.

On BPA: I just found my son half devouring a receipt, so yeah: hormonally disturbing parent of the year!
