William, here are a couple of articles I came across.  I'm not familiar with
the Pubmed abstract numbers however.
Hope this is helpful:
1)  JAMA Vol.288, No. 3, July 17, 2002
2)  Tragedy and Hype:  The 3rd International Soy Symposium- Part II
3) G Matrone et al, Effect of Genistin on Growth and Development of the Male
Mouse, Journal of Nutrition, 1956, 235-240.
4) A Cassidy, et al.  Biological Effects of a Diet of Soy.... American J. of
Clinical Nutrition,  1994, 60: 333-340.
5) K D setchell et al, Isoflavone content of infant formulas and the
metabolic fate of these early phytoestrogens in early life, Amer. J. of
clinicial Nutrition, Dec. 2998 Supplement 1453S-1461S.
6) Menopausal Estrogen and Estrogen-Progestin Replacement Therapy and Breast
Cancer Risk.  JAMA 200, 283:485-491.
7)  Allred, C.D. et al. Soy diets containing varying amounts of genistein
stimulate growth of estrogen-dependent (MCF-7) tumors in a dose-dependent
manner.  Cancer Research 61, 5045-5050, July 1, 2001.
I've compiled the info I posted from these sources and some from others.
