Why do people here ask others to find them research studies instead of searching PubMed themselves? I don’t understand.
Speaking in general, sometimes it’s a tactic used by disingenuous people, to throw the burden (and effort) back onto the other party, especially if they themselves are the ones who are making unsubstantiated claims.
I think also part of the problem is that a lot of people make claims in /r/fasting that aren’t necessarily backed up by science and then when people look and can’t find the studies they just assume they can’t find them instead of realizing that a lot of it is just made up
