Re: RESEARCH - Soy food reduces bone fractures in older women

[Guest guest]

If anything, soy does help with post menapausal as well as premenstral

symptoms. When I had my hysterectomoy, I couldn't tolerate the

hormones. So, I put myself on Estroven. It contains soy isoflavens

and an herb called black cohosh. The black cohosh helps with hot

flashes and insomnia. The soy isoflavins helps your body produce more

estrogen from other areas when your ovaries no longer do this or if

they have been removed. My OB/GYN said that the reason my PMS

sypmtoms where minimal was probably because I use soy products as my

primary source of protein (I'm vegetarian). Besides that, I feel it

to be safer than HRT. So, with soy helping your body produce its own

estrogen, it would mae sense that it would help reduce

fractures.....Marina
