(X) Doubt

Last time I was in a medical space, intermittent fasting was all the buzz. The idea that it somehow has opposition from mainstream medicine seems like the kind of thing that an internet community would invent to pretend at being brave rebels (and run defense if case they were caught getting frisky with unsubstantiated health claims.) If you search "intermittent fasting" on google, the results are full of very positive articles from all the big names in medicine:

    Johns Hopkins: Intermittent Fasting: What is it, and how does it work?
    Mayo Clinic: Intermittent fasting: What are the benefits?
    Harvard Health: Intermittent fasting: The positive news continues

So no, I don't buy for one second that "most doctors do not believe something like fasting can improve health."
