This article touches lightly on research in to one type of fasting (intermittent fasting), then proceeds to detail the authors' personal experience with a very different and more extreme type of fast (a one time 7 day fast).

I fail to see how this approach provides any value, nor does it even attempt to answer the question or provide the summary posed in the title.

This is a prime example of editorial incompetence in titling an article.

The title is "One week, no food". I don't see how that contributes to the problem.

The title (which can be seen in the slug and the HN link) was "Is fasting Good For You? What We Know So Far."
