[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This site never ceases to amaze me. This is a legitimate study with a surprising finding. The “confirmation bias” for so many of you is so frustrating. You believe only what you want, then go around screaming “but science.” You care about science when it fits your lifestyle or agenda, but rail against it when it doesn’t. This finding really shouldn’t be that surprising. When one’s body is fooled into thinking it’s starving, bad things will happen. I have always found IF to be non-sensical, and studies definitely find this true for OMAD. Once again, an argument for moderation.[/quote]

I think this is an interesting study, and certainly suggests that we should be more cautious before recommending IF. But the devil is in the detail with these retrospective studies. If the IF pool were at significantly higher risk than the non-IF group then that could bias the results. I would like to see more digging into the data and more studies before reaching a definitive conclusion, particularly as there are several controlled studies suggesting improvements in cardiovascular markers with IF.[/quote]
