Just watched it and was really unimpressed. For a documentary titled "the science of fasting" they really went out of their way to find the least credible sources and seemed to try appeal as much as possible to consumers of alternative and holistic medicine. Secret, untranslated texts by open-minded Soviet researchers, Western science rejecting studies out of a bias against unprofitable treatments, genetic memories of starving on the savannah, body resets and cleansing...I know a lot of people who are into fasting would really like that stuff, but I was hoping to find a description of fasting that avoided those sources.
