  IAN: Lon White's study is a subset of a longitudinal
  heart study conducted by the Honolulu Heart Program
  that was "established in 1965 for research on heart
  disease and stroke. Questions regarding frequency of
  consumption of tofu and 26 other foods were asked at
  interviews in 1965-67 and again in 1971-74." [*] Dr
  White et al, published several papers on the data set
  acquired from that study not at all related to tofu,
  and that data is available to be retested. Dr White's
  study from that same data set on Alzheimer rates of
  Japanese American's versus Japanese is seen cited
  in various Alzheimer-research papers. That study
  of White's was published in the Journal of
  the American Medical Association:

White, L., Petrovich, H., Ross, G. W., Masaki, K. H.,
Abbot RD, et al. (1996) Prevalence of dementia in older
Japanese-American men in Hawaii. JAMA, 276, 955-960.

  I believe White's study is not an anti-soy hit.
