Is it climate change? Is it because the stock market went up 10%? Because Saturn's orbit crossed it's periphelion? Or more seriously, could it just be the Hawt

Is it climate change? Is it because the stock market went up 10%? Because Saturn's orbit crossed it's periphelion?
Or more seriously, could it just be the Hawtorne effect?
As you pointed out, without a control group, you cannot claim that any change in your measurements are due to anything. The fact that the researchers do attribute it to fasting is just bad science and makes me doubt the rest of their findings.
- marketingPro 6y agoIf any of those happened, wouldn't the entire world see those physiological effects? Being a bit more realistic is the hawthorne effect, which can be easy to test with follow up experiments. My biggest takeaway isn't to do IF or cut calories, but rather it seems some phenomena was found. If you asked me if diet, fasting, etc... Would cute cancer, I'd have said NO! but this study has changed that answer to "I don't know". I suggest that is a huge difference and benefit.
