Abstract in brief

  • The study tested a low-fat vegan diet with daily soybeans and found it significantly reduced hot flashes and improved related quality of life in postmenopausal women over 12 weeks.
  • Women in the intervention group experienced up to an 88% decrease in moderate-to-severe hot flashes, with half reporting no hot flashes at all, unlike the control group that saw no change.
  • The dietary benefits were consistent regardless of season or whether participants produced equol, a compound related to soy metabolism, suggesting the intervention's effectiveness across different subgroups.]
