It's seems that Japanese women really don't have many menopause problems, John, whther they're allowed to complain or not. Talking with Japanese women over here, they don't have words for some of the more common irks like hot flashes.
I'm not sure adding soy supplements or isoflavones when one reaches menopause is as beneficial as eating soy all one's life. I've eaten soy for over thirty years & have never noticed any menopause problems at all - nothing, not even the little things that are taken for granted like drying skin & hair or any larger problems either. Just my theory that it has to be part of a long term diet & not a quick fix but have little written evidence to back it up.
