CIVIC LANE Spain's food-safety and nutrition agency said it would review menopause guidance after researchers criticised evidence used for some recommendations. Euronews reported that some reference studies underpinning nutrient advice involved only men and that the agency acknowledged an omitted warning about that limitation. The dispute matters because health guidance is supposed to translate scientific evidence into advice for the population actually affected. One side may favour using the best available evidence with clear caveats, while another may demand stronger sex-specific data before guidance is finalised. The question is how agencies should act when the evidence base is useful but not fully representative.
