Intermittent Fasting Linked to Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Death, Study Finds

A recent analysis revealed that individuals adhering to an eight-hour eating window faced a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to those with a 12-16 hour eating period.

The study analyzed over 20,000 U.S. adults and found a significant association between time-restricted eating and cardiovascular mortality.
Researchers noted that the findings do not prove causation and further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms.
Critics argue the study relies on self-reported dietary information and does not account for the quality or content of consumed food.
Experts caution against drawing definitive conclusions from the study, emphasizing the need for more detailed analysis and further research.
The analysis challenges previous notions of intermittent fasting's health benefits, sparking debate among nutrition and health professionals.
