As a big fan of IF, I find this really depressing.

Hm. I am curious to see what the full study has to say. And as with any study, one isn't usually enough; hopefully more such studies will follow.

Regarding the short-term benefits, from the article:

Previous research has found that time-restricted eating improves several cardiometabolic health measures, such as blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

I don't quite follow the bit about "...categorization into the different windows of time-restricted eating was determined on the basis of just two days of dietary intake." Like, they just assumed people were doing constant IF based on looking at two days? That seems like a potential for trouble. Like, maybe the people who died fell off the bandwagon or something, idk?
