"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.

People with heart disease or cancer also had an increased risk of cardiovascular death.

Compared with a standard schedule of eating across 12-16 hours per day, limiting food intake to less than 8 hours per day was not associated with living longer."

    I wonder if it’s something to do with what those 8 hours are filled with, maybe a person is more likely to eat worse meals if they skip a meal unintentionally?

    For example, they could be eating McDonald’s every night because they didn’t have the time to eat anything else.

    I would assume if you plan your diet properly, it wouldn’t be harmful. Only science can tell us though, not our ponderings.
