Recent survey shows Women asking about non-medicinal options for relieving menopausal symptoms

A recent survey in the United States sponsored by Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) has found that women want their doctors to inform them about non-medicinal options for relieving menopausal symptoms.

The survey indicated that women turn to health professionals more than any other source for guidance about menopause.
