There is no scientific basis for fasts of any kind.
There is no scientific basis for the many statements of intestinal transit time i.e. claims of food particles and break down products that somehow are "never" released until you do "this" special fasting. There is never any specific chemical structures given when 100's of books, websites etc... that claim this method and others will rid your body of the "toxins". I love that ... "toxins" .. many of these are written by members of the medical fraternity, surely one of them could spring for just one chemical name, just one.
If however, these eating habits are part of spiritual/religious beliefs and you honestly feel better for them, go for it. My comments are based at those who babble pseudo-science at non-technical people and mislead both the consumer and cheapen that same consumers future respect for the medical community.
