We consume probably about one milligram a day on average. In the Far East, like China, they consume about 70 milligrams a day as part of the natural diet. So in those kind of countries, they actually have a really low prevalence of menopause symptoms compared to us. They still have menopause symptoms, but it's a bit lower than us.

What we know is that if you supplement people with soy isoflavones for the vast majority of people, but not everyone, it will reduce symptoms a little bit. Not totally, but it can reduce symptoms.

So that's a good question. We've looked at how living with obesity can impact your symptoms. And we do see that if you're living with obesity, you have a higher prevalent number of symptoms. We see that if you have an unhealthy diet to start with, you have a higher number of symptoms. We see that if you have low physical activity, you smoke, etc. Yes, it's associated with high symptoms.

This is all association data, though. It doesn't show causality. And it's really important to say that.

That's quite a formal way to address me. I think we've covered an awful lot. And I think the thing that I would emphasize when people are thinking about their health, thinking about their diet, is firstly, find what works for you. Find something you enjoy. But I think I would say be really, really careful of the misinformation that's out there. Really careful.

And I would say also, if you're going to make a change, make sure it has a big enough size impact to warrant the change you're making. Because there's a lot of advocates for this health optimization. You know, make this change and it will have this impact.

Well, if you're making a change that disrupts your life significantly, but only has a 1% impact on whatever health outcome you're interested in, whether it's your cholesterol, your overall energy or whatever. Is it really worth disrupting your life that much for that small change? And I think that's really important.

I hear so many times when I'm talking to other mums at the school gate or that sort of thing. Oh my gosh, I read this and I'm going to do this. And, you know, it's going to be really hard, but they've said it will help with this. And it's like, oh, you're taking away pleasure. And actually, what is the gain?

I would love to see a world where scientists, food industry and policymakers work together. I'd love to see a world where We encourage evidence-based science, but scientists aren't scared of working with food industry, for example.

I think that. I can't comment on their motivations for profit. I don't think I'm informed enough to comment on that. But I do believe that the food industry needs to work with academia in order to solve the problem of the kind of foods that are out there. We need impact from government, though, as well. We need impact from policymakers. We need to go back to grassroots.
