So.. per this article, shouldn't Mormons and Muslims have stronger immune systems? I wonder if they do. Or are otherwise are more healthy because of this practice. I would be a bit surprised if this were the case, although I could be wrong. I do notice Utah is in top 10 US states for life expectancy (no tobacco might be another reason), but it is not in the top 5. So I'm guessing fasting (and/or a religious preference) may not really produce amazing life extending benefits after all. Edit: Although fasting does have a long history in religious tradition, it is often associated with some not-so-savory movements as well.... http://www.prem-rawat-talk.org/forum/uploads/CultCharacteristics.htm http://www.prem-rawat-talk.org/forum/uploads/CultCharacteris...
