Pieni paasto lihavuuden ja diabeteksen torjuja?

Hiirillä tehdyistä kokeista päätellen syömisajalla onkin väliä:

"Panda's team fed two sets of mice, which shared the same genes, gender and age, a diet comprising 60 percent of its calories from fat (like eating potato chips and ice-cream for all your meals). One group of mice could eat whenever they wanted, consuming half their food at night (mice are primarily nocturnal) and nibbling throughout the rest of the day. The other group was restricted to eating for only eight hours every night; in essence, fasting for about 16 hours a day. Two control groups ate a standard diet comprising about 13 percent of calories from fat under similar conditions. "

"After 100 days, the mice who ate fatty food frequently throughout the day gained weight and developed high cholesterol, high blood glucose, liver damage and diminished motor control, while the mice in the time-restricted feeding group weighed 28 percent less and showed no adverse health effects despite consuming the same amount of calories from the same fatty food. Further, the time-restricted mice outperformed the ad lib eaters and those on a normal diet when given an exercise test."

Hiirillä oli siis sama perimä ja niille syötettiin sama määrä kaloreita, jotka koostuivat rasvasta ja nopeasta hiilarista.

Silti ne hiiret, jotka eivät saaneet ruokaa milloin vain, vaan paastosivat 16 tuntia vuorokaudesta, olivat terveempiä.

Nopeilla hiilihydraateilla ei ollut siis haittoja näille paastoaville hiirille, mutta vertailuryhmänä ei ollut hiiriä, jotka söivät karpaten.

Kaloriteoria sen sijaan menisi roskakoppaan...
