Why plant oestrogen is a red-hot topic

Article Abstract:

Isoflavones are substances found in legumes that can provide additional oestrogen to the body. When Graham Kelly, executive chairman of Novogen, made the suggestion in 1987 it was not well received. But now the theory has been accepted and further research has been conducted. The metabolites which are formed by isoflavones digestion are considered to have even more potential to deal with serious illnesses.

Over the top

Article Abstract:

Managers of the Australian Sydney Harbor Bridge have allowed the public to take guided climbs to the top of the bridge since October 1998. Tickets generally cost AU$100, although they are more expensive on nights and weekends. Groups of 10 leave every 10 minutes. The excursions have been taken by 80,000 people and are estimated to raise AU$20 mil in the first year.
