Mice Given Soy May Experience Less Bone Mass Loss Than Control Mice, Study Finds.

“A little soy may go a long way bonewise,” research in mice suggests. After feeding “female laboratory mice a special soy-based diet in the earliest weeks of their life post-breastfeeding before” letting them resume “a regular diet until they turned six months old,” then removing “their ovaries (to mimic menopause-related bone loss),” researchers found that “mice given soy experienced less bone mass loss than the control mice.” The findings were published online in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) journal. http://www.medicaldaily.com/early-soy-may-help-protect-against-later-bone-loss-women-says-mice-study-401405
