However, the evidence for other potential benefits of soy such as effects on heart and bone health is not clear, a panel of experts has concluded.
''It gets a good score for [menopausal] symptoms," says researcher Wulf Utian, MD,nike free run, PhD, ScD, a consultant in women's health and executive director emeritus of the North American Menopause Society. ''But the data is really not strong to give a high score for any of the rest."
With a working group of experts in the field,lululemon.com, Utian combed through evidence during a two day symposium in late 2010 to evaluate the health benefits of soy for women at midlife.
The report is published in the journal Menopause.
Benefits of Soy: The Scorecard
The working group evaluated the evidence on soy as it affects menopausal symptoms,louis vuitton, breast and endometrial cancer risk,tn pas cher, hardening of the arteries, bone loss,toms outlet, and mental abilities.

They looked at research evaluating soy from foods and supplements. Soy's isoflavones are credited with producing the healthy benefits.

According to research, soy does not work as well as hormone therapy but was better than placebo,hermes bags, Utian tells WebMD. "If you give estrogen a 9 out of 10 score, and placebo 4 of 10, soy would be about 6.5."

Soy from foods is linked with lower risks of breast and endometrial cancer in studies.

Soy's heart health benefit is still evolving in research.
Soy appears to help women under age 65 with cognitive function, but not those over 65. Utian refers to this as a ''critical window" after which women don't seem to derive benefit.
Although evidence was lacking for many of soy's proposed benefits, Utian says that "the good news is that we didn't show it carries any significant risk."
The symposium and report were supported by unrestricted grants from Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Pharmavite LLC,celine handbags, and the Allmen Foundation.
