Soy Products effect on Womens Health
By admin | September 17, 2009
Soy products, like soybeans, soy milk, soy cheese, tofu, are all excellent sources of healthy plant protein. It is often recommended for women experiencing menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, dry vagina to consume soy to mitigate the symptoms. This is because soy imitates the hormone estrogen at the cellular receptor sites. The body feels better as it thinks its receiving an estrogen supply. Consequently, if you have any disease that is hormone dependent like endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroid tumors….these conditions can get worse as soy is consumed. We recommend women avoid soy products if they have been diagnosed with any of the above diseases.
