without realizing, I've slowly been incorporating more soy into my diet (milk, tofu, etc) and have found some conflicting info about soy in my searches.

What are your thoughts on soy? Good, bad or other?

    It's fine. Lots of people in various parts of the world consume large quantities of soy with no ill effects.

    Soy is food

    No such thing as good or bad food, just good or bad diets (as in way of eating)

    Soy is a common allergen and can be bad for people with particular kidney stones or breast tumours. But unless that is applicable to you there's no need to worry - it's a great source of nutrients.

    Certain soy products tie my stomach into knots, but in terms of physiological effects, you will be fine
