Time-restricted dieting tied to higher CV mortality in ‘surprise’ findings
But the researchers stressed that their study did not show causality.
Adults who restrict their food intake to eight hours or less per day are almost twice as likely to die from heart disease than those following a typical eating pattern, show “surprising” results from a study.
The US and Chinese researchers said their preliminary findings “do not support long-term use” of the 16:8 pattern of time-restricted dieting for preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths.
