Thanks for jogging my memory. The only reason I mention dangerous is that fasting can in fact be very dangerous depending on a persons physiology and preexisting conditions. That said, it is much less dangerous than having T2D. So the benefits may outweigh the risks in this case.

Everything has a risk though, not even an exaggeration, actions or inactions. The problem with disucssing fasting is that it's not widely supported in modern western health, so there's little discussion or common knowledge about how to recognize problems during fasting. What is great about problems during fasting though, generally speaking, to solve them is as easy as breaking the fast. There are fasting clinics where doctors monitor the urine output from patients to determine if their body is expelling too many toxins at one time, and help control the fast.

  I completely agree and having your blood and stool checked by a doctor or a lab is certainly a good mitigating control, especially for people that have preexisting issues such as; but not limited to, kidney or liver diseases.
