I highly doubt this hypothesis.
Muslim people do not fast at night time. On average, they tend to eat much more during Ramadan what with the vast array of seasonal sweets.
The true difficulty of fasting during Ramadan is not being allowed to drink water during the day.
- evfanknitram 8y agoRegarding the "true difficulty" I don't think you can generalize like that. For example I suspect it depends on where you live, what hours fasting is, temperature and so on. My friends here have told me that the main problem is to eat enough during the night because after fasting for 18 hours your body get used to it. I assume similar to my issues eating a bkg breakfast in the morning directly after waking up.
- theprotocol 8y agoFair enough. It was an orthogonal comment anyway.
- jnbiche 8y agoAs someone who has fasted an entire Ramadan along with Muslim friends, I completely agree that lack of water during the day was the hardest part about the fast for me. Along with lack of caffeine. Bad headaches were routine for me. Not eating food for 12 hours isn't very hard at all.

- raverbashing 8y agoWell, "dangerous" is relative. And some do drink water. Still, I don't care for dietary guidelines mandated by religious bodies.
- Zaheer 8y agoI don't think it's about the total eaten but more so the fact that for several hours having no food / drink kills the cancer. So although they may eat more at night the hours during day is enough to starve / kill the cancerous cells.
