This surprises me.

I practice 16:8 (actually, probably closer to 20:4) four days a week. The idea that I've been (potentially) damaging myself the last couple of years of doing so is counterintuitive to how I've felt over the same period.

Yeah anytime a study touts such a high risk ratio that's a big ol red flag.

Using my very basic epidemiology knowledge, it looks like they calculated solely based on case numbers and not on person-time. Maybe somebody with more epi knowledge can chime in, but it just seems like poor study design.
