Menopause is part of the natural aging process for women. HRT has been shown to decrease menopausal symptoms, reduce risk of heart disease and help keep bones strong. HRT has many beneficial effects. Breast cancer survivors can't take HRT either. This has left millions of women looking for alternatives.
Many human studies show that soy promotes better breast and endometrial health.
Symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, headaches, anxiety and insomnia can be controlled safely with soy. Soy has never been shown to increase breast or endometrial cancer risk. In summary, soy protein is safe and effective for alleviation of menopausal symptoms. Soy can even help younger women manage PMS and other menstrual disturbances. The FDA, American Heart Association, and leading health experts recommend that Americans eat more soy protein to lower their cholesterol, protect their hearts, and reduce menopausal symptoms.
