I still suggest the soy milk. Two cups a day. Works for me. You need to keep using it and over time it becomes even more effective.

In a nutshell, "...according to the most comprehensive study to date, eating two servings of soy foods a day may help reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes. ...The interest in soy for hot flashes began when researchers noticed only about 10 per cent of Asian women experience menopausal symptoms. It’s been speculated that Asian women are less likely to have hot flashes due to their high soy consumption.

Soy protein contains isoflavones, natural compounds that can bind weakly to certain estrogen receptors in the body. In so doing, soy isoflavones might help compensate for declining estrogen levels that accompany menopause and offer some relief for hot flashes."

I bought my own soy milk making machine and I make two batches at once to save on clean up time. Even with the cost of the machine factored in, one litre of soy milk costs around $0.30 versus $2.69 for store bought stuff. The fact that there are no additives is a welcome bonus.
