There was a very interesting Horizon programme about it in August...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19112549
Watch again on BBC iplayer (UK residents only) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... ve_Longer/
He ended up using a 5:2 diet (5 days normal food, 2 days restricted to 300 calories). It seemed to produce the required drop in igF and blood fats to significantly reduce risk of heart disease and cancers.
