phytosterol in mouse diet

[CLTann]

There is an article in today's local newspaper regarding rats or mice fed with soy diet as a nutrient to raise them. Researchers now found that the phtosterol in the soy diet was causing skewed or strange test results.

For many here, particularly those with expertise in diet, what is your educated opinion on above news? Is soy okay for us to take? I know someone will be quick to point out that my question is too simplistic.
