A new large-scale health study suggests that eating late in the evening may affect liver health. It involved 199,000 participants. Its findings are relevant to anyone who tends to visit the fridge after dark.
According to the study, night-time snacking is directly linked to two serious liver diseases. This means its effects are not limited to weight gain and a larger waistline.
The study also highlights timing. What matters is not only which foods enter the body, but also the time of day when it happens.
The available source material does not say which liver diseases were examined, who carried out the research, or how large the risk is.
