Over the past few years, doctors have been singing the praises of soy. But a new study shows at least one condition soy doesn't seem to help.
Researchers had a group of about 250 women between the ages of 45 and 60 take either a soy supplement or a placebo.
They thought soy would help with some of the most common symptoms of menopause.
But after two years what they found is the number of hot flashes actually decreased for the woman taking the placebo but stayed the same for those taking soy.
