Soy milk and soy-based meat substitutes. One of the biggest health frauds of modern times, the soy craze is a fad that you will want to skip. Besides the fact that nearly all non-organic soy ingredients are of GM origin, most soy additives are processed using a toxic chemical known as hexane, which is linked to causing birth defects, reproductive problems, and cancer. Soy that has not been fermented is also highly estrogenic, which can throw your natural hormone balance out of whack. (http://www.naturalnews.com/026303_soy_protein_hexane.html)

So true
If you are going to eat much soy, go for tempeh which is fermented. If you can find the culture, it is really easy to make. Also, buy Tamari rather than ordinary soy sauce which is fermented and wheat free.
As for the GM issue, you are right but that doesn't make GM wheat or corn a good alternative. There was a NL member who was supposed to be involved in growing organic soy in Nicaragua but I haven't heard from him in a few years.
