Wholesome Soy REDUCES HEART ATTACK, BREAST CANCER & FRACTURES RISK in women

N=64,915; 43 cases; 2.5 years follow up. MI protection could been achieved with soy protein consumption as low as 5g per day.
Shanghai Women’s Health Study
J Nutr 133: 2874, 2003
Women in the highest quartile of soy protein intake had a 75% lower risk of total CHD and 86% lower risk of nonfatal MI than those in the lowest quartile.
The protective effects likely due to the multiple actions of soy protein and soy isoflavones:
- LDL-Cholesterol and Triglyceride regulation via soy peptides 7S and 11S
- Inhibition of LDL-Cholesterol peroxidation by soy isoflavones
- Improvement in Endothelial Function by soy isoflavones and soy protein
- Improvement in Blood Pressures by isoflavones-rich soy protein

Epidemiologic data suggest women who consume soy as teenagers have a 50% lower Risk of developing breast cancer as adults

The protective effects likely due to the multiple protective properties of soy isoflavones:
Anti-angiogenesis, Anti-Mitotic, Anti-estrogenic, Protein Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition and Free Radicals Scavenging.
A large study of more than 24,000 women suggests that soy protein is especially helpful to bone health in the first few years after a woman reaches menopause. The subjects in the study, women 40 to 70, were participants in the Shanghai Women's Health Study who were followed for four and a half years. In this time, 1,770 fractures were reported. The researchers adjusted the figures for age, osteoporosis risk factors, socioeconomic status and diet other than soy food. They found that the more soy a woman ate, the less likely she was to break a bone.

Within 10 years of menopause, high soy consumption was associated with a 50% reduction in the risk for bone fracture.
For women who had been menopausal for more than ten years, the risk reduction was 29%.
"Soy consumption may be particularly beneficial in preventing menopause-related bone loss," the authors suggest, "but less effective at reversing established bone loss."

OPTIMAL PROTECTION AGAINST FRACTURES WERE SEEN IN WOMEN CONSUMING 22-44mg of Soy Isoflavones with 5-10g soy protein daily!
This can be easily achieved by consuming 1 sachet of EnerFlex PLUS Daily!
