I wonder sign this hasn't made the news?

It's amazing how under-rated fasting is for people who claim interest in longevity science. I think it's because people are afraid to be temporarily uncomfortable or they're paranoid about losing precious muscle mass (which doesn't happen during fasting -- that's a myth debunked repeatedly). Fasting and CR are the only modalities even close to offering us longevity benefits here in 2017; yet these practices are mostly ignored. Interesting times indeed here we are in slow churning cogs of uninspired science, and fastidiously ignoring what works.

Thank goodness for the patient lab work of Longo.
