Why the hell do I have the urge to eat an entire days worth of food by noon?

Ark, the point is we are not at "that place" yet from a research standpoint to be making official recommendations.  We also don't know what possible long term negative effects fasting may have on human health.  This is why it's not okay for nutrition vigilantes like yourself to be reading one or two research articles on a subject and then run around telling people what they should do for their health.  For the love of God, at least promise me you don't make recommendations to cancer patients...

I have also fasted quite a number of times from 3-7 days at a time so I do speak from personal experience. Not that it count's for anything in your accounting but I haven't just "read one or two article on the subject". It's also a part of many spiritual traditions. Not that it counts for anything in your accounting.

I know exactly what I would do dietarily If I was diagnosed with cancer. And I would at least try that first before being pump up with poisons and shot through with radiation to the destruction of my immune system, and risking secondary harder to treat cancers. http://www.cancer.org/acs/groups/cid/doc...43-pdf.pdf
