Hi chiquitabella,
The negative effect of too much soy is stalling: the anterior pituitary gland measures the increase in sex hormones, and stops the production of Luteinizing Hormone, so the production of estrogens in the ovaries stops. This stops breast growth as soon of the dose of any estrogen or androgen becomes too high.
This may scare some, but stalling has a positive effect on health for some people. If someone develops an estrogen sensitive cancer, like breast cancer, stalling will stop the growth of the tumor. This is why I assume (it's just a hypothesis) that a stalling dose of soy in a diet will decrease cancer in a large group of people.
A negative side effect of soy consumption is hypothyroidism. Make sure you get enough iodine, from kelp or enriched kitchen salt, and l-tyrosine.
Make sure you start with a low soy dose: check the labels of breakfast cereals, soups, sauces, and prepared meals. Soy is in everything nowadays.
