Fasting good for stem cells!

I’ve not read the full study, but the below sounds good, seems more is being realised about the benefits of fasting.

I hope that is true, but long ago I got beyond mouse-sized status. A mouse has a much faster metabolism, a heart rate almost ten times ours, and often dies after three days of fasting. I wish they would use people.

No indictment of fasting, here - I’m all for it.

All true, but hopefully they’ll start testing on humans at some point (they’d have a pretty fair sample size just from this forum), if it acts the same way it would be great.

There’s a documentary available on Amazon streaming about fasting that has a lot of humans.
