  "account": "A recent study suggests that eating late at night may increase the risk of liver disease by up to 30%. Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University studied data from nearly 200,000 people and found that those who ate late had a higher risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and cirrhosis. The study, published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, adds to the growing body of evidence that suggests when people eat may be important in addition to what and how much they consume.",
  "summary": "Recent research emphasizes the concerning link between late-night eating and liver diseases. A comprehensive study involving nearly 200,000 participants over a median span of 16 years found that those who dined late displayed increased cases of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and cirrhosis. The underlying mechanisms linking meal timing to liver health are still not well…",
