Phytoestrogens, synthetic estrogens, etc...

I was looking up soy b/c I knew I had read about phytoestrogens here, but I am also considering going vegan. This is quite the laundry list of bad soy effects, however, I also found articles that talked about all the synthetic estrogen in dairy and even meat (the stuff they inject the cows with). So, what's a normal person to do? I already buy my dairy from the health food store, but is that enough? Is it better than soy? Is it possible to go vegan and still get enough protein without soy?

Discuss.
