Soy Improves Bone Mineral Density in Women
Suggesting that osteoporosis risk may be reduced in women by the intake of soy, scientists at the U. of North Carolina* have found in two studies that indications of bone mineral density were increased with soy isoflavones contained in the bean.   The first report showed its beneficial effects in young women and the second revealed its benefit to middle-aged and to older women.

*Presented at the FASEB annual meeting, Orlando, Florida, April, 2001 by Drs. Anderson, Boass and Chen, U. of N. Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7000, and Drs. Arjmandi, Khalil, Lucas et al, Okla. State U., Stillwater, OK 74078, and U. of Okla. Obstetrics and Gynecology, Okla. City, OK 73190.

NOTE: The meeting was one of professional research scientists. FASEB is an umbrella organization of pathologists, physiologists, nutritionists, immunologists, biochemists and molecular biologists, among others.
