Soybeans, <strong>soy</strong>foods, <strong>and</strong> vegetarianism are discussed<br />
in many parts <strong>of</strong> this book. Women in the USA who do not<br />
suffer from hot fl ashes tend to eat a more vegetarian diet high<br />
in plant estrogens (p. 68). Nondairy <strong>soy</strong> <strong>yogurt</strong> made with<br />
live <strong>acidophilus</strong> cultures is an excellent food for preventing<br />
vaginal infections (vaginitis), urinary tract infections, <strong>and</strong> for<br />
menopausal women in general; this delicious food is sold at<br />
many health food stores (p. 84-86).<br />
In Chapter 10, titled “Dietary principles <strong>of</strong> menopause<br />
relief,” is a section on “Foods that ease menopausal<br />
symptoms.” A long subsection titled “Beans <strong>and</strong> peas<br />
(Legumes)” (p. 124-26) starts by noting that “Soybeanbased<br />
products actually help reduce <strong>and</strong> prevent menopausal<br />
symptoms. Soybeans are loaded with natural plant or<br />
phytoestrogens, called bi<strong>of</strong>l avonoids.” It goes on to discuss<br />
the reasons for these benefi ts, with scientifi c documentation.<br />
Soybean oil is also a good source <strong>of</strong> essential fatty acids (p.<br />
128-29).<br />
Chapter 11, titled “Menus, meal plans, <strong>and</strong> recipes,”<br />
calls for use <strong>of</strong> <strong>soy</strong>foods <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong> legumes in place <strong>of</strong> red<br />
meats, poultry, <strong>and</strong> dairy products (p. 163-67); t<strong>of</strong>u <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>soy</strong><strong>milk</strong> are used in many menus <strong>and</strong> at least 14 recipes.<br />
Chapter 12, titled “Vitamins, minerals & essential fatty<br />
acids,” contains sections on the benefi ts <strong>of</strong> bi<strong>of</strong>l avonoids,<br />
which are found in <strong>soy</strong>beans, for relieving menopausal<br />
symptoms, such as heavy <strong>and</strong> irregular bleeding (p. 172), hot<br />
fl ashes, night sweats, vaginal <strong>and</strong> bladder atrophy (p. 174-<br />
75), menopause-related emotional symptoms <strong>and</strong> insomnia<br />
(p. 177-79, also vitamin E found in <strong>soy</strong> oil). Omega-3 fatty<br />
acids, also found in <strong>soy</strong>beans, can help reduce one’s risk <strong>of</strong><br />
heart disease (p. 188).<br />
Chapter 13, “Herbs for menopause,” notes that estrogen<br />
<strong>and</strong> progesterone are widely synthesized from <strong>soy</strong>beans,<br />
which contain a preformed steroidal nucleus.<br />
One problem with this book for more serious students<br />
is that the bibliography is completely disconnected from the<br />
text. One cannot easily go from a statement in the text to<br />
its source in the bibliography. Address: M.D., 101 First St.,<br />
