Hey there,
Is anyone consuming soy products instead of ERT such as prescribed premarin?
Is it a good idea?
Soybeans instead of ERT?

Re: Soybeans instead of ERT?
The amount of estrogen found in soy products are minimal in comparison to prescription estrogen and so unlikely to help with cognition. Premarin, or any oral estrogen, has a higher risk for blood clots and stroke, unlike the estradiol patches. The primer has a nice summary about female hormone replacement therapy, including the uncertainties surrounding it.

If you choose to eat soy, be sure it is organic. Soy is notoriously genetically modified.
