Intermittent fasting could increase heart attack and stroke risk

The practice of only eating inside an eight-hour window - known as intermittent fasting - could raise the risk of fatal heart disease, according to scientists.

New research tracked 20,000 people over several years, and found those following the diet pattern were twice as likely to die from heart attacks or strokes as those who ate normally.

I don’t think so. Like most things these days I would decide that the opposite must be true if this is what they are telling us.

Done it for ten years, fast for 14hours.

Better than taking any drugs. Sky news UK

clearly the study is way too limited and people who internittent fast are known to have healthy BMI more often.. which is linked to lower risk of heart disease.. not higher. So, I wouldnt give the study much thought.. probably not too responsible to show it in media.. but I guess its honest because they outlined the limitations.

Intermittent fasting does not cause heart disease a poor diet and lack of exercise does smh at this baseless drivel

[Swenser]

[SBha]

Total bulls!t study. Who funded this study?

[hishmahishma]

People getting healthy through non-expensive means is a big problem for some people. So they need to break it.

⁠nobody comes away with any useful knowledge from that ambiguous finding… I’ve got at least 10 questions that need answering before i can even know wether the study was a useful experiment or not.
