The Science of Fasting


lol I saw that yesterday too. So sleeping 8 or more hours puts us at a 91% chance of CV death?

I bet the food industry would LOVE to recommend people wake up in the middle of the night to eat to avoid dying of a heart attack or stroke

This 'study' is extremely easy to rip apart. First off they say they used participants and tracked their eating habits for 9 to 17 years. The term time restricted eating wasn't evening in esoteric circles 8 years ago let along beyond that. The only thing people could talk about fasting was in reference to religious practices. Second the participants in the study were given a YEARLY food questionnaire about their eating habits for the entire year. And I am sure as others have pointed out, nothing else was taken into consideration.

This study comes from china and was looking at age groups from 20s-40s. Most likely higher overworked people who had 2 or more jobs and were unable to eat because of work and high stress due to that kind of lifestyle.

Watch for pharma, heavily processed food companies and the media to push this agenda because it's all about trying to get people to consume more and more.
