1. Misleading Studies on Fasting Risks

Recent studies, such as one claiming intermittent fasting increases heart attack risk by 91%, have made headlines. However, this study's credibility is questionable. Out of 20,000 participants, only 414 were practicing intermittent fasting, compared to over 11,000 on a standard diet. This small sample size undermines the study’s statistical significance. Moreover, 27% of fasting participants were smokers, significantly more than non-fasters, skewing the results since smokers are at a higher risk of heart disease.
