Does soy really have estrogen in it?
Answers:
Soy does not contain estrogen but has a protein that promotes the production of estrogen, especially for menopausal women. I have seen it work with great success, getting rid of menopausal symptoms, sometimes completely, especially hot flashes. The alternative is to take estrogen injections which is usually derived from horse estrogen and is high on the list for leading to cervical cancer.
It has Phyto-estrogen in it. It works the same as regular estrogen but not as good.
