We’re working on this. Harder than it seems.

I think intermittent fasting is easier to implement for the average person. It's much easier to tell someone that they can eat as much as they want, but only between 6-8pm (one meal a day). It's difficult to tell someone you can eat 3 meals but no more than 1500 calories in total. Once I start eating, I don't want to stop (until I'm full). But the point at which I'm full is way beyond my calorie limit if I am eating 3 meals a day.

#33No control group, and n=14. This study says nothing.
Generally it's good to be skeptical but this- "We found a significant fold increase in the levels of several tumor suppressor and DNA repair gene protein products (GP)s at the end of 4th week during 4-week intermittent fasting (CALU, INTS6, KIT, CROCC, PIGR), and 1 week after 4-week intermittent fasting (CALU, CALR, IGFBP4, SEMA4B) compared with the levels before 4-week intermittent fasting."
But why would this suddenly happen?
There's some physiology here to be uncovered. That hardly is 'nothing'.
Is it calories? Is it fasting? Is it nutrient timing?
You can't find out which from "no control", but there's definitely a physiological effect being seen, correct?

#34The "research" is politically motivated, it is thus garbage. Especially considering that it would be dangerous to publish the result if it were to show the other way, not that they would want to publish it.
Besides, not having even a drop of water for longer than 12 hours during summer is dangerous, not only to fasting people themselves but to the society as a whole since they drive cars and they have higher rate of fainting during that. But doing those for the name of religion is somehow acceptable in our society..

"Nothing" is a bit strong – it probably says that further study is warranted.
It certainly doesn't say that intermittent fasting will cure/prevent cancer.

#36I have been fasting weekly once from morning to evening. I eat only dinner on Tuesday. I have been doing it since past 6 years.. it makes a difference. It improved digestion and overall I feel good at end of fasting day.
Good from cnn on fasting advantages

#37Also recommended, stretching your low back five times a day.

> until I'm full
and I've learnt that it's very hard to know when you're satisfied in terms of hunger, and full in terms of desire.
The level of food required to satiate my hunger seems to be quite different from when I am "full".

Good point. Do practicing Muslims have lower cancer rates?
You'll have to account for increased rates of smoking in both Muslim-majority countries and Muslim populations in non-Muslim-majority countries. From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1360407/ > A fifth of the world's population is Muslim, and most Muslims live in areas where the prevalence of smoking is high and often increasing. But even among the many Muslims living in Europe, smoking prevalence (partic…
That's interesting. I believe smoking is discouraged in Islam, so I wonder why the uptake is higher. Guessing it's a general education issue?
