 I don't have a particular problem with soy, but soybean oil is one of the worst seed oils. I'm talking about the industrial process required to turn it into something the body accepts without total revulsion, where even the name has to be whitewashed.

There are endless research papers on seed oil production, they all center on how to make it more acceptable to the human body, with zero regard for whether it is a good idea, health-wise. 
 Yes. My other issue is that most soy in the US is completely soaked in glyphosphate and other -icides that are also very bad for humans. 

I don't have any issue with soy itself, especially as traditionally grown and processed like tofu and soy sauce. 

But finding those made from soy that is grown without the BS is absurdly difficult.
