Soy and Osteoporosis Prevention: What’s the Connection?

The Johns Hopkins Health Alerts had an interesting piece Soy and Osteoporosis - does Soy help aleviate Osteoporosis ?

The risk of developing osteoporosis increases as we grow older. Exercise, proper nutrition, and – when appropriate – medication can all help to prevent osteoporosis. But what about isoflavones?

To cut to the chase the answer is NO. The isoflavones in Soy do not help alleviate Osteoporosis. As you might have read in other blogs I'll take supplements which have a good chance of working but soy can be written off.
