Fake-Fast diet may soothe gum treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT06074861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special 5-day fasting-mimicking diet (plant-based soups, bars, and drinks) could reduce inflammation after deep cleaning for advanced gum disease. Twenty-eight adults with stage III-IV periodontitis were randomly assigned to either follow the diet or eat normally. Researchers measured inflammation markers in blood and gum samples over time to see if the diet helped calm the body's response.
