Color me skeptical. Have you links to some of that evidence? I’d like to read it for myself.
There is in fact an overwhelming amount of data on this and many books and scientific research publications. Just google "fasting and longevity" to get an idea of how much has been done. Here's one very succinct summary with some useful links:

On the subject of longevity science in general, including intermittent fasting, I'd suggest that you listen to this lecture. It's long, but he summarizes the main points in about the first 10 minutes and then provides some interesting conclusions at the end. Watch those parts to get the main ideas. The intervening material is a very intensive review of the molecular biological mechanisms of aging.
