A Narrative Review about Metabolic Pathways, Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications of Intermittent Fasting as Autophagy Promotor
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40481380/
i’m not an expert but i use IF for autophagy and gut health. it’s the only thing i’ve tried that worked for me for weight loss. i’m down 40+ lb from a year ago.
i think a lot of “studies” are ordered up by some organizations that hate intermittent fasting, because rather than replacing one food with another food, you’re reducing the food, period. which means you’re spending less money. which corporations hate.
so, pooh-pooh on IF
i just finished eating for the day, will not eat again until tomorrow, and i’ll sleep great because of it
But if you want to get technical, when I say “not everything is a conspiracy”, those words themselves imply that some conspiracies exist. So you pointing to a conspiracy is completely redundant, not only funny.
again, i’m not saying ALL papers are fraudulent or even biased, but i’m definitely skeptical of scientific “conclusions” that dismiss methods that involve spending less money and/or blames the patient’s problems on “not enough exercise” while ignoring dietary habits
Intermittent fasting no better at promoting weight loss than typical weight loss diets. FTFY

Not everything is a conspiracy.
of course not. but a lot of things are.

let’s not forget the fraudulent “scientific research” that led to the entire anti-vaxxer movement

whether it’s a “conspiracy” or not hardly matters when the outcome is wrong “scholarship” leading to negative health outcomes
Hahahahaha.
Funny.

So corporations do have my best interest at heart? 🤔
That’s a funny way of spelling shareholder value!
The intermittent fasting corporation dumbass?
Big IF
What evidence do you have that all the studies are corrupt?
i didn’t say “all the studies,” so let’s go ahead and stop changing each others’ words to whatever we prefer they said
also, fraud in the scientific literature has been going on forever.

that latest one is about sugar companies telling you you’re fat only because you’re not exercising enough, not because you drink 7 cokes per day
so far, we’ve ignored the AI angle:

Okay, yeah, I came in too aggressive and sorry for that.
