Soy sauce could reduce symptoms of the menopause among women, such as hot flushes and sleepless nights. Scientists say soy contains a natural compound which can help reduce production of oestrogen, the hormone which contributes to menopausal problems.
Studies in Japan, where soy is consumed with meals regularly, found that Asian women experienced milder menopausal symptoms than Americans and Europeans where use of soy is less frequent. (telegraph.co.uk)
