The Claim
A reduction of 6933 ku/day in dietary advanced glycation end-products is associated with a predicted reduction of one severe hot flash per day in postmenopausal women.
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 who consume 6933 ku/day fewer dietary advanced glycation end-products experience one fewer severe hot flash per day.
See the scientific wording
A reduction of 6933 ku/day in dietary advanced glycation end-products was associated with a predicted reduction of one severe hot flash per day in postmenopausal women, indicating a quantifiable dose-response relationship between AGE intake and vasomotor symptom frequency.
When people eat fewer AGEs, their blood has less damage from sugar-coated proteins, which reduces inflammation and stress in the brain's temperature control center. This lets the brain stop sending false heat signals, so hot flashes happen less often.
What the research says
1 studyWomen who ate less of certain foods linked to aging (called AGEs) had fewer intense hot flashes, and the study found that cutting 6933 units of AGEs per day led to about one fewer severe hot flash each day — just like the claim says.
