Buyer Beware: Estrogen Supplements Not As Effective As Claimed

The results of another shopping trip to Whore Foods.

"Dietary supplements claiming to help postmenopausal women with bone health may not be doing what they say, according to new research from Purdue University.

'We found that some plant-derived isoflavones have a modest effect on suppressing bone loss during post-menopause, but more concerning is many dietary supplements that claim to have the power of estrogen do not,' said Connie Weaver, distinguished professor of foods and nutrition. 'It's buyer beware. Some of the supplements in our study claimed to be substitutes for estrogen, yet they weren't effective at all or weren't as effective as some of the current treatments for osteoporosis.'"

Just about the only real "health" from "health foods" is found in the bank accounts of "health food stores."

Caveat emptor = caveat fool.
