Shoot n Tap

I've never come across this topic before. I encountered someone who claimed that fasting was very healthy and should be done by everyone capable to do so. She went on about how much energy she had and how good she felt, etc etc. She went on to claim how fasting helps lose weight, elimnate toxins and helps even cancers!
I smiled and nodded of course while wondering how starveing your body was something that was desireable. Also, people will quote just about any insane fact off the top of their heads if they feel it will help their cuase. So later I hit the net and decided to investigate.... Heres what I found.

It's not exactly college level research but it's the best I could jimmy rig togther this morning. What I gathered so far that fasting is only healthy for already healthy people.
Any thoughts?
