A recently-published study of fasting in mice revealed health benefits of breaking a fast, including stem cells burning fats for energy, aiding intestinal repair.
Ömer Yilmaz emphasizes the need to understand the refeeding state rather than just the duration of fasting, suggesting a shift in how we view fasting benefits.
The study has raised concerns, showing that fasting might accelerate development of precancerous cells in mice, prompting questions about its applicability to humans.
Yilmaz is planning a clinical trial on humans to explore the risks and benefits of fasting further, aiming to clarify its health impacts.
