It turns out timing really is everything, at least when it comes to the diets of lab mice whose circadian clocks are disrupted. A study is reporting that limiting the times when the animals eat can correct obesity and other metabolic problems that are normally seen in these mice, even when they're fed an unhealthy diet. The results suggest a previously unknown link between disruption of the clock and eating behavior.
