I did intermittent fasting in the past, & all I got was this lousy eating disorder & huge risk of death. 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.
No research was found to support or challenge the claim made in the post. The study referenced isn’t available for review, so we can’t verify its methods, population, or findings. Without seeing the actual study, it’s impossible to say whether the 91% figure is accurate, how it was calculated, or if it even applies to the people described. The absence of evidence here isn’t evidence of absence — it just means we don’t know.
If you’re curious about fasting and heart health, we’d need to see the actual study before drawing any conclusions.
