FTA:

"A study of over 20,000 adults found that those who followed an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a type of intermittent fasting, had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

People with heart disease or cancer also had an increased risk of cardiovascular death.

Compared with a standard schedule of eating across 12-16 hours per day, limiting food intake to less than 8 hours per day was not associated with living longer."

      Agreed. Methodology is garbage. In fact, according to it, the people who had the least risk were those who had Cancer. LOL.

      Aggregate age was 48.5 and BMI was something around 28.5. 10%+ of those in the study already had Cancer or other serious COVs. Not peer reviewed, in fact it was just an abstract given in a presentation.

      This is a perfect example of lying by statistical chicanery, too.
      It is irresponsible to run those headlines since most will never read the study. Also study has the logo of the American Heart Stroke Society. The same agency that shills their logo to cereal brands. Who knew that they would want you to not skip American styled breakfast.

      The “study” was actually an abstract from a conference presentation.
