EurekAlert : declared in Fasting-mimicking diet may reverse diabetes

The study showed a remarkable reversal of diabetes in mice placed on the fasting-mimicking diet for four days each week. The results suggest that a fasting-mimicking diet could alleviate diabetes in humans. Longo and his research team have amassed evidence indicating several health benefits of the fasting-mimicking diet. A diet designed to imitate the effects of fasting appears to reverse diabetes by reprogramming cells, a new USC-led study shows. Longo is the founder of and has an ownership interest in L-Nutra whose food products are used in the human studies of the fasting-mimicking diet.

Effects of a poor diet during pregnancy may be reversed in female adolescent offspring

The fourth group included offspring from the mice fed a high-fat diet that were fed the nutrient-enriched diet during early life. They found that the female offspring who were fed the nutrient-enriched diet during early life learned faster and were more motivated to obtain the sugar reward. "These are provocative findings," said Thoru Pederson, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal." The third was also fed a nutrient-enriched diet during early life. The FASEB Journal is published by the Federation of the American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
