Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about a widely practiced religious observance rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on fasting, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its cited alternate-day fasting research on cardiovascular and metabolic biomarkers and its own caution that no sound clinical evidence shows fasting promotes longevity, and for its comparative cadence across Eastern Orthodox weekly, LDS monthly, Muslim and Baha'i annual, and Jewish occasional fasts, standard reference facts.
