Research finds that Phytoestrogens found in Soy helped to reduce Weight Gain in a Rat Model of Menopause

Recently, it was discovered that a diet rich in soy prevented weight gain in post-menopausal female rats.

Originally, it was thought that a decrease in estrogen during menopause was the culprit for increased body weight and that fat that gathers around the middle of so many women after they FINALLY reach menopause.

In a day in age where women are looking for ways to balance their hormones naturally, Michelle Murphy of the Monell Chemical Senses Center would like to conduct further research into the consumption of a soy-rich diet in humans to determine if the phytoestrogens found in soy can help women combat weight gain naturally during post-menopausal years.
