> The study was small, just 19 people. All the participants were overweight and had a cluster of risk factors (elevated blood sugar, elevated cholesterol levels and high blood pressure) that put them at higher risk for Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. A larger study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, is underway to examine daily fasting in people with metabolic syndrome.

Doing science has the same challenges as doing anything: time, money, resources, priorities, etc. Science is rarely advanced through simple critiques like "your sample size should ideally be bigger."
