Another Reason To Avoid High-fat Diet: It Can Disrupt Our Biological Clock, Say Researchers

Another Reason To Avoid High-fat Diet: It Can Disrupt Our Biological Clock, Say Researchers:
"In an article soon to be published by the journal Endocrinology, the researchers suggest that this high-fat diet could contribute to obesity, not only through its high caloric content, but also by disrupting the phases and daily rhythm of clock genes. They contend also that high fat-induced changes in the clock and the adiponectin signaling pathway may help explain the disruption of other clock-controlled systems associated with metabolic disorders, such as blood pressure levels and the sleep/wake cycle."
