Intermittent fasting halts liver disease progression and reduces cancer risk

Fatty liver disease often leads to chronic liver inflammation and can even result in liver cancer. Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the University of Tübingen have now shown in mice that intermittent fasting on a 5:2 schedule can halt this development.
