Bulletin board

Osteoporosis study
Researchers in the department of foods and nutrition are conducting a study to investigate the effects of soy isoflavones, plant hormones found in soybeans, on bone mineral density.
Postmenopausal women between the ages of 40 and 60 who have not been diagnosed with osteoporosis and are not taking estrogen or hormone replacement therapy may qualify.
Participants cannot be vegetarian and must be willing to take soy isoflavones on a daily basis for two years. Benefits include free bone-mineral density measurements, vitamin and mineral supplements, dietary assessment, blood analyses and modest compensation. Contact Tonya Dalton (583-0040 or opus@fcs.uga.edu) for more information.
