the article is indeed kind of poorly written but a google search turned up an interesting article:

http://www.mothering.com/articles/growing_child/food/soy_story.html

which concludes with:
"The bottom line is that the safety of soy foods has yet to be proven, and that human beings have become guinea pigs in what Daniel M. Sheehan, formerly senior toxicologist with the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research, has called a "large, uncontrolled and basically unmonitored human experiment."

Environmental scientists are worried about low levels of estrogenic compounds in water -- giving soy to a baby may be a far worse threat....

Have to wonder what effect it has on precocious puberty. Sex positive proponents are telling us that we must accept younger sexual activity because girls are "maturing" at younger ages (far below 10).

Except for all those Asians who've been consuming it for thousands of years and enjoy some of the highest life expectancies in the world.

Did these do gooder scientists happen to to say what they'd give a baby in place of the dangerous soy milk that meets the baby's need for high quality protein if they're allergic to milk? What nonsense. Soy milk provides more than 10 times as much essential fatty acids as cow’s milk. Cow's milk contains more than nine times as much saturated fat as soy milk. Soy milk is cholesterol-free, while cow’s milk contains 34 mg of cholesterol per cup. Soy milk lowers both total and LDL cholesterol levels, while cow’s milk raises both total and LDL cholesterol levels plus is a great source of high quality protein that infants absolutely must have.
