Fasting 24 hours, twice a week, allowed the mice to optimize their Natural Killer Cells to better fight cancer.

The processes appear to be similar to what happens in humans.

"Fasting 24 hours twice a week"

Humans with diabetes can't fast for 24 hours. Can diabetic mice?

“Just as happens in humans, the mice saw a drop in their glucose levels and a rise in free fatty acids, which are lipids released by fat cells that can serve as an alternative energy source when other nutrients aren’t present”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but, isn’t that exactly what happens when you’re on the ketogenic diet?

I fast 4 1/2 days a week (usually). Sunday night through Friday afternoon. I love it.

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

Apoptosis, the removal of damaged cells, occurs after about 3 days of fasting or FMD, so I’ve read. So nothing really new here.

(FMD is fasting mimicking diet, either with a proprietary food kit, or 600-800 calories, <16g protein, <100g carbs, and no meats or dairy for 5 days)
