Meaning eating abit of soy in diet for several decades in life BEFORE menopause. (And please, this does not apply to soy sauce nor miso. Both are heavy in salt.) It doesn't mean stop eating abit of soy now, but just don't rely on the soy miracle.

I scarcely experience hot flashes..for 5-10 min. for 1-2 times per month. But a sister of mine, experiences some periodic hot flashes. Pretty mild and doesn't disturb her sleep, compared what some of you are experiencing.

Thanks, that's a different take on it that I hadn't heard before. I agree about eating a bit of soy now and then wouldn't help much but I was hoping that taking one of the homeopathic remedies containing a measured amount of isoflavones on a regular basis might help. I will check further into what you are saying though - if that's true, then there won't be any use in taking the supplement.
