Any form of soy that has been broken down is harmful

That's what I thought as well, but she said that it helps her night sweats. If she stops taking it, they come back.

Maybe something else in the supplements? I was just reading about soy in Dr. Mercola's new book, and he was saying that soy has never been proven to help with menopause symptoms. Soy is very harmful!

Thanks, I will ask Christine. I was looking at bioidentical hormones like in Suzanne Somers wonderful book "Ageless" that someone told me about - was it you??? That is a good book.

Click on your Groups tab and type Menapause in the Search Groups field. In the View All list click on the discussion "Sleep...I need SLEEP".

Thanks, Renee! It was spelled wrong. I typed it right in the search bar and came up with nothing. Then I retyped it the way you typed--it wrong, by the way :) and it came up!

I will check it out. Anyone out there looking, it is spelled in the groups as "menapause".

I have read a lot on lecithin extracted from soy. It is very good stuff according to most nutrition authors. I am guessing it needs to be organic and non GMO to be any good these day.

Yes, when given to farm animals. oops I mis-spoke, thats if they are not GMO.

Fermented soy is supposed to be ok for humans, but it also depends on the source.
