Fasting can reduce weight — but also hair growth
The dietary craze of intermittent fasting slows hair regrowth in both humans and mice, experiments show.
"...short bouts of food deprivation, triggers a stress response that can inhibit or even kill hair-follicle stem cells."

"Further experiments showed that intermittent fasting kick-started communication between the adrenal glands, organs that produce stress hormones, and fat cells in the skin. This crosstalk caused skin fat cells to release molecules called fatty acids. The fatty acids disrupted the stem cells’ metabolism and caused damage that, in some cases, led to the stem cells’ death.
...the diet could prompt the development of precancerous intestinal growths if mice incurred a cancer-causing genetic change during the post-fasting period. These findings should prompt further investigations of fasting’s effects on cells in the brain and the liver."
“I was shocked to hear these results,” says Ömer Yilmaz, a stem-cell biologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge who was not involved in the study.
“We’ve come to expect that fasting is going to be beneficial for most, if not all cell types and good for stem cells. This is the inverse of what we expected, and the finding seems to hold true in humans.”
