>> I'd suggest that only people who are already overweight will be trying intermittent fasting. Needs a study with randomly selected people who are put into two groups - overweight and lean, then half of each group start intermittent fasting.

Came here to comment on this. There is no mention in the article (and I can't access the paywalled study) that the researchers controlled for BMI so there is no way to tell whether the participants of the study who were more likely to have cardiovascular problems were also the ones who were expected to have them because of overweight conditions.

I'm not advocating for intermittent fasting, to be clear. I tried it a while ago and it didn't do anything (I lost a couple of kg then got them back again when the seasons turned) but the study seems shoddy and uninformative. Or I'm just in reviewer number two mode.
