Only isolated soy protein does that.
The Asians have been eating fermented soy for thousands of years, and their thyroids seem to be fine.
Unfermented soy, isolated soy protein (highly processed) and any GMO soy are bad.
Non-GMO, fermented soy (tempeh, miso, tamari. natto) and non-GMO tofu are healthy (unless the person is allergic to soy altogether).
