Menopausal Women Benefit From Soy
Two studies published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology reveal that menopausal women who eat soy have a variety of positive side effects. First of all, women who include soy in their diet report a noticeable lessening of menopausal symptoms. Secondly, soy appears to have bone-strengthening effects. Women who ate the most dietary soy had thicker bones than women who consumed the least. The benefits of soy appear to be attributed to compounds called phytoestrogens or isoflavones.
