A few days ago, my newsfeed began showing me stories from numerous sources screaming, "Intermittent Fasting has a 91% greater risk of cardio vascular death!" A number of my viewers asked me how I felt about this topic and if I'd share my opinions, which is what I'm doing here.

The better part of my pre-YouTube career was spent picking apart presentations like this to see if the statistics and and general math add up (no pun intended). I also examined the sampling methodologies and measurement systems used. This study, based on my analysis, is an epic failure that is now being touted as "news" by the media.
