Research showed that menopausal women who added 20 grams of soy powder a day (about four tablespoons) to their diets reported significantly reduced their hot flashes and night sweats. Soy contains isoflavones, compounds that mimic the beneficial effects of estrogen without its risks. Estrogen-replacement therapy raises the risks of breast and ovarian cancer. [1]
Try soy if you have hot flashes and night sweats. Be careful of genetically modified soy products for its danger to our health. If possible, get organic soy powder.
