Apparently all soy products have estrogen. However since soy sauce is largely used in cooking or with sushi and in relatively small amounts..I do not worry about it. However I do not purchase tofu or soy milk etc.

I will however on occasion, eat tofu while at a friend's or in a retsaurant

I learned through an integrative breast cancer oncologist that eating soy in as unprocessed a manner as possible is not only ok, but is good for us. She reassured us that soy sauce is okay to ingest. It’s the soy protein isolates in protein powders or as supplements that we must avoid because that hasn’t been studied enough as yet. Here’s a blog article from Lisa Schwartz, MD, about it. lisaschwartzmd.com/blog/is-....
