A member asked:
Does soy milk help in alleviating hot flashes of premenopause? any risks or side effects since it has plant estrogen in it? weight gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soy: Ingesting soy milk is probably fine. Soy is a weak phytoestrogen when ingested as a food product, though some drug companies use soy as a base for their estrogen product. Do some label reading though as some soy milks have additives that increase the calories. Adding soy beans to salads or eating tofu is also a good source of soy.
