Could Late-Night Snacking Make Your Breast Cancer Come Back?

In 2016, four researchers from the University of California and San Diego State University used similar studies in rodents to design an experiment involving women with early-stage cancer and study their breast cancer recurrence after treatment. The idea was that there may be a link between how long a person spends fasting each night and how likely it is for cancer to return.

2,413 women aged 27 to 70 who had had early-stage breast cancer were studied over the course of about 12 years. During that time, 390 women saw a recurrence in their cancer. Only 818 of the 2,413 women reported fasting for a minimum of 13 hours per night.
