Plant Estrogens May Reverse Postmenopausal Weight Gain
Postmenopausal weight gain associated with a lack of estrogen is a common problem faced by women. While estrogen replacement therapies are one solution for combating postmenopausal symptoms, it does increase the risk of developing breast and uterine cancer. Researchers have recently discovered that some plant estrogens can actually reverse postmenopausal weight gain in ovariectomized obese mice without the development of mammary gland or uterine cancer.
