Fasting - Via 264.

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

Many thanks to 264 for the PDF of the Health magazine article.

The MAGAZINE article states that: " In a series of studies published

over the past year, he (Mattson) and his colleagues have found that

intermittent fasting - eating freely one day and going without food

the next - offers even greater benefits than drastically cutting back

on calories every day " . That seems pretty unequivocal. But they do

not provide any form of citation to help locate the JOURNAL article

so that a reader can check. GRRRRRRRRR!

Now the only question is whether the scientific journal article on

which the magazine apparently based its piece, really demonstrates

what the magazine claims it does. The magazine article does

elaborate with some details, but they are not, I think, the kind of

details that would persuade most of us here that fasting is

preferable.

If I can find out more I will post what I find.

Rodney.
