The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has conducted a study that shows a low-fat vegan diet, which includes soy, can significantly reduce postmenopausal vasomotor symptoms, commonly known as hot flashes.
The study observed a 95% decrease in hot flashes overall, while severe hot flashes were completely eliminated.
Moderate-to-severe hot flashes decreased by 96%, and daytime and nighttime hot flashes reduced by 96% and 94%, respectively.
In addition, participants on the vegan diet lost an average of 6.4 pounds.
