""The soy isoflavone market is experiencing dramatic growth as a possible alternative to hormone replacement therapy for women. `The Journal of Women's Health' recently cited that 35 million American women -- one third of our female population -- are now perimenopausal and that between 50%-80% of them will experience acute symptoms, such as hot flashes. Up to 50% of women who experience hot flashes will have them for up to five years. Many of these women seek medical and alternative therapy to relieve those symptoms.
"The news has been filled with information about the benefits of consuming a diet rich in soy-based foods. Retail sales of soyfoods in the U.S. alone are growing and expected to surpass $3.5 billion this year, according to a USA Today report on the Women's Health Initiative study. "
