Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has debunked several of these unproven treatments, such as cannabis oil, which is often marketed as a cancer treatment despite the lack of clinical trials supporting its efficacy. Similarly, Sloan Kettering debunked the effectiveness of detox diets, explaining that the body naturally detoxifies itself and that these diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies and other health problems. https://www.today.com/health/womens-health/menopause-supplements-rcna155636?utm_campaign=KFF-Misinformation-Trust&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--AWQCR7zHFrpvO6dLgjlK0ANAgOnOiNLmqCwVSqwpMG1HxjlzRXalfZiaAlFgW5aaJG1QgTn4a722JGJOIG9rMh3ZZdw&_hsmi=315217036&utm_content=315217036&utm_source=hs_email Social media has also fueled the popularity of unproven supplements marketed to manage menopause symptoms. Concerns and misconceptions about hormone therapy have led some women to seek natural alternatives to relieve hot flashes, night sweats, and other disruptive symptoms. However, experts caution that these menopause supplements are not FDA-approved and usually contain unregulated herbal blends that make them ineffective or dangerous. This trend highlights both the gaps in public knowledge about menopause and the prevalence of misinformation about hormone therapy, which is a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe symptoms. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2818206?resultClick=24&utm_campaign=KFF-Misinformation-Trust&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--C08H7llj8hAscrtZOjwd-M8qeiVu49UDI7-kUbnvNbdS6ZyTiVewS-9S9jEPiD1pnUgcvpFVslehjBaRS-xl_blXzjA&_hsmi=315217036&utm_content=315217036&utm_source=hs_email
