I think a large part of the problem is we may never have big studies for this. It’s very difficult to do human trials, you can’t just lock people up and restrict their calories for years on end.


the bigger question is: who would pay for such studies?

big pharma? government lobbied by big pharma? universities given grants from government lobbied by big pharma?

actually though, the soviets did do serious research into the science/benefits of fasting. Too bad it never really made it to the west.

Watch the video: "The Science of Fasting" for an overview.
