Mice fed a time-restricted, high-fat diet show reduced metabolic disease (2012)
This almost answers a question I&#x27;ve often wondered.<p>Whenever I see research on calorie restriction, I wonder whether it&#x27;s directly caused by eating fewer calories, or indirectly caused by eating fewer bad things. For example, methionine, an essential amino acid, is linked to cancer growth. In other words, maybe we don&#x27;t need to eat less calories, but less of specific nutrients.<p>Anyways, this study seems focused on metabolic diseases and doesn&#x27;t touch on cancer or longevity in general. So, if anyone has any thoughts, I&#x27;d like to know. It&#x27;s been bugging me for a while.
