The title here implies that there's a consensus among "health experts", but there is no such thing. Click bait. All we have is some health experts saying there are downsides to the back and forth switch
I think the point is there are health experts who want to stop DST, and there are health experts who are ambivalent. It's disingenuous to say that "health experts" want something if not all - or even the majority - actively want it.
With a field as large as "health experts" it would be a bit much to ask for a majority. Do you think that the many health experts, the fact that the American Academy of Sleep Medicine is publishing a DST position statement, and the long list of chronobiologist societies doesn't suggest there is a pretty good consensus?
You will always have a ton of ambivalent health experts on the matter because for most health experts this isn't their field.

Do you know of health experts who explain the benefits of DST? I'm interested in their arguments.
