In an effort to discover a organic alternative to hormone treatments that as well provided weight loss benefits, researchers fed soy, a plant that contains compounds similar to estrogen, to post-menopausal rats,

The results of the rats consume an increased intake of soy led to higher energy expenditure and weight-loss.

Michelle Murphy, a researcher at the Monell Chemical Senses Center, conditiond that these discoverings have “implications for the development of alternative organic treatments for obesity in post-menopausal female.”

For post-menopausal female who are interested in adding other organic alternatives to their supplements in order to recover weight-loss, recent research conducted at Johns Hopkins University showed that consume pomegranate can boost weight loss results and provide organic replacement therapy.

Soy (or Glycine max ) is a plant in the pea family. It has been used in Asian diets for thousands of years.
Soybean are good source of protein, oil and minerals, but low in carbohydrates. It also contains water-and fat-soluble vitamins.

Soy isoflavones

Soybeans also contain isoflavones-compounds similar to the female hormone estrogen.

The major portion of soy protein is composed of glycinin and etaconglycinin.
The health benefits of soy are in isoflavones which are a class of plant estrogen found in a high concentration in soy. In particular genistein occurs in soy products such as tofu, soy protein isolates, soy flour and some estrogen dietary supplements.
The reason that genistein has come under medical scrutiny is the fact that it activates estrogen receptors in cells, including some types of breast tumor cells.

Benefits of soy

Soy saponins are divided into three groups according to their respective type of aglycon, soyasapogenol A, B and E.

Saponin A and AB group fraction protects the liver against antioxidation and improved lipid metabolism in the injured liver.
Administration of a small peptide derived from soybean showed antifatigue, antiobesity and hypoglycaemic activity in mice.

Feeding soy protein to hamsters, consistently, resulted in significantly reduced incidence of gallstones.
Soy products (tofu, soybeans, miso, and soy protein powder) can help lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Substituting as little as 20 g per day of soy protein for animal protein can significantly lower cholesterol.

In studies of experimental carcinogenesis in animals, soybean isoflavones exhibited protective effect in 65% animals.
