Based on his groundbreaking work in the field of fertility and menopause, Seibel reveals how the soybean and its byproducts afford new hope to menopausal women. Alleviating symptoms ranging from hot flashes and sleeplessness to vaginal dryness and weight gain, and reducing the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and diabetes, soy provides a natural and safe alternative to commonly recommended treatments. For the millions of women concerned that hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of blood clotting and breast and uterine cancer, soy provides a superb alternative. Explains how the female body processes soy, how soy products naturally restore hormonal balance by behaving like estrogen, and how to add soy to your diet for maximum effect. Illus.
