Fasting diets may raise risk of diabetes

Some more info here:

> “The exact method is unclear from the abstract, but if the rats were fasted for one day, this is equivalent to an approximately 3 to 4 week fast in humans! So it’s not applicable to the 24-hour or 48-hour fasts practised by humans on common fasting diets.

This article takes a preliminary paper on Rats and turns it into a sensational article; the paper is titled “Intermittent fasting for three months decreases pancreatic islet mass and increases insulin resistance in Wistar rats”

Full abstract: https://www.endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0056/ea0056p519

The full paper isn’t out yet it seems.

Not sure if the evidence is trustworthy.
