You post a long article but there are no names of researchers or sources  to be seen any where, such studies are usually referred to as BS.
Your posts have shown how much you like to show that Islam is all wrong. Well maybe you are right, as believers only will benefit from Islam.  For you, sadly, there will only be confusion, no matter how many valid studies are given you to read and attempt to understand.

Take a look at the site, scroll down and you will find the references to the studies. And please angry woman don't use offensive words as "bs". And for your kind information there are people here who doesn't interpret "sawm" as "fasting" as you do, so please respect that although it makes you more angry then you already are. You Angry woman.
