"Intermittent fasting is good." Can you provide a reference for that and define what you mean by "intermittent", "fasting", and "good"?

  "Fasting" is not eating. It's usually done for the span of a few meals, or a full day (24-hour period or simply daytime), or even a few days. "Intermittent" might mean fasting once every few weeks, or once a week, or every other day, or even every daytime (as for Muslims during Ramadan). "Good" means a longer life with fewer diseases and less physical or mental decline.

      Did you really need someone to point that out for you or were you being difficult?

  The Wikipedia article on Intermittent Fasting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting) says that there is evidence which suggests it may increase longevity.
