Well, I personally wouldn't choose to go on the diet with 1/2 cup soybeans to reduce menopausal symptoms myself, because I am intolerant to soy, but the point is that YES, there are ALWAYS other ways to improve one's health!

WHY oh why do people, even those who live 'alternative' lifestyles, choose to see their 'doctor' (ie a medico) when they're not sure about something that's health-related? It's like people WANT to be sick!

Robyn, are you able to comment on the coumarins and/or isoflavonoids in red clover (Trifolium pratense) as a natural estrogen hormone replacement therapy for women?

Thank you for this information. My hot flushes are not disabling but it would still be nice not to have them anymore. I am already on a mostly plant based diet but I have been trying to remember where I saw the info about the soybeans so very grateful for you posting this article. (-:

How you lot (women) put up with all those reproductive cycle health issues for around four decades of your life is beyond me. Thank goodness you have the pharmaceutical industry to help you out (I've just been listening to The Stone's Mothers Little Helper, so I may have got their message and your article's a bit mixed up).
