Even if the science isn’t fully there yet, this seems well into the realm of “almost certainly can’t hurt”.

  except, well, it kinda might. https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eatin...

    Interesting, I wonder if that’s because most people doing so were already or formerly overweight, hence the fasting.

    from the newsroom article: People who followed a pattern of eating all of their food across less than 8 hours per day had a 91% higher risk of death due to cardiovascular disease. That just fails the laugh test. That can't possibly be true.

    There is no published article corresponding to that press release. There is only this published abstract: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20343/presentation/379 https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/20343/presentation/37... (which does not contain the 91% by the way; though it is reported widely. perhaps it was in the presentation). Here is a page with expert reactions (most are skeptical) https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-conference-abstract-about-time-restricted-eating-and-cardiovascular-death/ https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-confer... tl;dr: I don't believe a word of it.
