"Study: Intermittent Fasting Tied to 91% Higher Risk of Heart Disease Death"

A study presented at the American Heart Association's meeting in Chicago found that limiting mealtimes to an eight-hour period, a common practice in intermittent fasting, was associated with a 91% increase in the risk of death from heart disease. The study, based on data from about 20,000 adults, has raised concerns about the safety of intermittent fasting as a weight loss strategy. However, some experts have questioned the findings, suggesting that differences in underlying health between fasting and non-fasting groups may have influenced the results. Further research and long-term studies are needed to fully understand the effects of intermittent fasting on cardiovascular health.
