Anyone Have Access to Science Journals?

Intermountain Healthcare, a collection of 22 hospitals, posted an article on intermittent fasting a while back. Their findings were very positive. What they didn't post was the actual research. I contacted Intermountain Healthcare and they gave me the link to their research. It's the last three links but I can't access the information without paying a yearly subscription. Maybe someone here who is interested in this research and has access could look it over and see how credible their findings are?

First article (available free on pubmed.gov): http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/0002-9149/PIIS0002914908009016.pdf

Others I had to find online via university access (and they weren't particularly easy to find). Let me give them a look and see if I can answer some questions you have.

At first glance, one of the huge problems is that they used the same sample population (n2 = 448 from the first study) in both the first and second studies. It's not really a surprise when you use the exact same people that you continue to find differences that have already been found.

Third study doesn't really say anything about the health benefits of intermittent fasting except that it modifies biomarkers that innately vary throughout one day and from one day to the next.
 
Ahh interesting, interesting. So basically they used the same group of people for the second study but is that in anyway bad for the findings of the first study? I'm going to try and read the free one in a bit. Hope that it's not too complicated. Thanks!
