Items related to Estrogen: The Natural Way
Women need estrogen, but estrogen levels diminish with age. In the short term, estrogen's departure leaves most women in a frequently overheated, uncomfortable state. In the long term, its exodus places their hearts, bones, and brains in harm's way. And conventional hormone replacement therapy, with its potentially distressing side effects and increased risk of breast cancer, doesn't provide a reassuring rescue. Faced with every menopausal woman's frightening estrogen dilemma, Nina Shandler discovered exciting news: Some foods contain estrogen. She headed straight for the kitchen and created this easy-to-swallow alternative. Part eating program, part cookbook, Estrogen: The Nat-ural Way shows women how to make fast, fun food using nature's estrogenic ingredients. From breakfast bars to soups, from main courses to desserts, Estrogen: The Natural Way provides a gentle yet effective version of estrogen replacement therapy.

Review:
Plant estrogens seem like a promising alternative to mainstream hormone replacement regimens for women who want to shore up hearts and bones and relieve menopausal symptoms. And mounting studies do show that hefty servings of soy and flaxseed may ameliorate, if not erase, menopausal discomforts such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Whether health benefits to hearts and bones hold up over time is still unproven, as is early data suggesting that plant estrogens may actually lower breast cancer risk. Cookbook author Nina Shandler (The Complete Guide and Cookbook for Raising Your Child as a Vegetarian) makes key research palatable by distilling it into more than 250 recipes from buckwheat pancakes to Thai-style noodles and orange-ginger sorbet.
