Yes a more balanced view but still pretty extreme. Here's what the American Dietetic Association says:
The Best Sources of Soy
May 13, 2004
Soybeans and soy products may contain phytonutrients that promote heart health. Soy protein and isoflavones are well-known for their ability to help lower total cholesterol and LDLs. In fact, research indicates that 25 grams of soy protein per day can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Soy foods include soybeans, tofu, soymilk, tempeh and the isolated soy protein that is added to other foods or used in the preparation of baked goods. Good sources of soy protein include soy nuts, soy flour, energy bars, tofu, tempeh and soy milk.

But ultimately you have to decide for yourself by weighing and balancing the information, considering the sources and trusting your instincts.
Good luck and let me know what you decide.
