No, to the extent there are endocrine issues with soy, it has nothing to do with GMO soy.

> From what I gather, a very high percentage of soy is GMO, far more than is typical for most food items.

94%, about the same as corn @ 92%.

94% sounds pretty freaking high to me personally.

Thank you for putting some numbers to that for me.
