The results unfortunately are too vague to support that interpretation.
There was no causal linkage because they couldn't determine why people were fasting: suppressed appetite due to illness, suppressed appetite due to being a smoker (which is very common), skipping meals due to poverty.
It also found that while cardiovascular deaths increased by 91% overall deaths were completely unchanged...which is a bit difficult to reconcile.

Sure, it's a new result and being an outlier needs to be treated with care (which I believe I said). It's still a more rigorous finding of health effect than anything in the grandparent's comment about how you should fast to avoid Alzheimer's. Ergo advice like that is bad.
