Although soy has lots of advantages, it has also some disadvantages and people should be aware of them.

Some disadvantages of the soy are;

• The popular fear that soybeans might cause reduced libido and even feminine characteristics in men has not been indicated by any study; the popularity of the notion seems to be based on the simplistic misapprehension and testosterone have a simple, inverse relationship in sexual hormone systems and sex-related behaviour.
• Soy has been in place in allergen list and people should be aware of if they are allergic to soy and allergic people must not eat soy.
• Raw soy flour is known to cause pancreatic cancer in rats. Whether this is also true in humans is unknown because no studies comparing cases of pancreatic cancer and soy intake in humans have yet been conducted, and the doses used to induce pancreatic cancer in rats are said to be larger than humans would normally consume. Heated soy flour may not be carcinogenic in rats.
• Existing cancer patients are being warned to avoid foods rich in soy because they can  accelerate the growth of tumours
