It's wild how if you read the original article that they all link to, there's contradictory evidence all over.
For example, Dr Zhong whom originated the study was on record saying “However, the long-term health effects of time-restricted eating, including risk of death from any cause or cardiovascular disease, are unknown.”
The study is also biased in that it included 20k people from ONLY the U.S.
It also states people that practiced time restricted eating had a 91% higher risk of death to due to cardiovascular disease but “The study identified an association between an 8-hour eating window and cardiovascular death, this does not mean that time-restricted eating caused cardiovascular death.”
And finally, their polling audience was skewed. The only correlation they had were people that practiced time restricted eating and deaths from that same time frame per the quote "They reviewed information about dietary patterns for participants in the annual 2003-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) in comparison to data about people who died in the U.S., from 2003 through December 2019, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Death Index database."
This means they weren't properly tracking what they were eating at all, relying on the participants to self report intake, which could have easily contributed to the death. It is America after all and that entire country ranks at #10 in the world for obesity with 41% of population being classified as obese. That could potentially mean of the 20,000 participants, 8200 of them were obese.
So in conclusion, that study is dumb.
