I am pretty sure you will survive with some soy in your diet.
from soy proteins wikipedia:
A recent study found that 56g of soy protein powder per day caused serum testosterone to fall 19% in four weeks in a test group of twelve healthy males. According to the study, this data supports further studies of these hormonal effects as a mechanism in prostate cancer prevention. [19] However, a study conducted by the Miami Research Associates refutes the finding of the Goodin study, finding that soy protein had no significant impact on testosterone levels in healthy males. [20] In fact, only one participant in the Goodin study actually saw a drop in testosterone. The participant in question had testosterone levels 200% higher than all of the other subjects, and during the study, his levels dropped to bring him inline with the other participants. The Goodin study did not conclusively prove that the participant's erratic testosterone levels were related to the soy protein.
if your that worried about it, use it up, and buy whey or casein in the future.
