The Claim
A reduction in consumption of unprocessed or minimally processed animal foods by 106 grams per day is associated with a 45% correlation to weight loss and a 31% correlation to reduction in 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.
In postmenopausal women following a vegan diet, decreasing daily intake of unprocessed or minimally processed animal foods by 106 grams is correlated with a 45% decrease in weight and a 31% decrease in severe hot flashes.

Reduction in consumption of unprocessed or minimally processed animal foods by 106 grams per day is associated with a 45% correlation to weight loss and a 31% correlation to reduction in severe hot flashes in postmenopausal women on a vegan diet.
When people eat less meat and dairy, they take in fewer harmful compounds called AGEs. This lets the body respond better to insulin, changes how fat tissue releases hormones, and helps the brain’s temperature control center work more steadily. 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 ate 106 grams less of meat or dairy per day, they tended to lose weight and have fewer intense hot flashes — and the study found exactly that link. It’s like noticing that the more you cut out animal foods, the better you feel.
