I'm now curious if the oil becomes problematic to mice because of the extraction process, and if some cooked or processed soy products may have similar problems

  They definitely aren't using supercritical co2 extraction which would be the cleanest process. Lots of soybean oil solvent extractions result in a really ugly looking mess which is clarified using more chemicals before it can be sold.

  Given the lack of any documented adverse health effects from soy-derived foods in the many cultures where it’s extremely widely used in cooking, my layman’s guess is that it’s to do with the extraction and processing of the soy bean oil. That can of course also apply to highly processed soy products, but I don’t reckon the average tofu or soy sauce enjoyer should be worried.

  From the article: “Do not throw out your tofu, soymilk, edamame, or soy sauce,” said Frances Sladek, a UC Riverside toxicologist and professor of cell biology. “Many soy products only contain small amounts of the oil, and large amounts of healthful compounds such as essential fatty acids and proteins.”
