Would you try meat substitutes?

You are correct that at the moment the evidence re soy is ambigious. For me personally I will err on the side of caution. That does not mean I will never eat soy. In fact I drink a common flavoured drink that contains a small amount of soy and I have quite often eaten vegitarian dishes that contain tofu. However, I don’t make this a common event so I aim not to injest large amounts or frequent amounts of soy. Also when I do eat a vegitarian dish I try to choose one that uses meat alternatives other than soy. As I said my concern is many of the articles about soy mention its hormonal effects which I don’t think is a great idea to subject myself to long term. I also don’t like the idea of genetically modified crops and soy is one that, for some reason, is often from genetically modified sources.
