The Claim
A reduction in consumption of ultra-processed animal foods by 65 grams per day is associated with a 43% reduction in body weight and a 31% reduction in the frequency of severe hot flashes in postmenopausal women on a vegan diet.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Postmenopausal women on a vegan diet who reduce their daily intake of ultra-processed animal foods by 65 grams experience a 43% decrease in body weight and a 31% decrease in severe hot flashes.
See the scientific wording
Reduction in consumption of ultra-processed animal foods by 65 grams per day is associated with a 43% correlation to weight loss and a 31% correlation to reduction in severe hot flashes in postmenopausal women on a vegan diet.
When people stop eating processed animal foods, fewer harmful compounds enter the body that disrupt hormone signaling. This lets the body respond better to insulin, changes how fat tissue releases hormones, and helps the brain’s temperature control center work properly. As a result, the body burns more fat and stops having intense hot flashes.
What the research says
1 studyWhen postmenopausal women on a vegan diet cut out about 65 grams of processed animal foods like deli meats per day, they lost weight and had far fewer intense hot flashes — and the study shows this wasn't a coincidence. It's like removing a bad ingredient that was making things worse.
