I hope you're not trying to make the age-old (and proven by current research wrong) sentiment that eating fat "stuffs it in your cardiovascular system". Please

I hope you're not trying to make the age-old (and proven by current research wrong) sentiment that eating fat "stuffs it in your cardiovascular system". Please do notice the study diet in question was relatively high in fat (9%–10% proteins, 34%–47% carbohydrates, and 44%–56% fat.)

err.. yes, I am stating that, and the only research I am aware of which sort of helps your point is that our intestine does not absorb more than some fat. It really depends how much in detail we want to go, I can give you the stats if you like (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2692399/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2692399/ this is a pretty referenced one). My point anyway was that they are only proving obvious facts: "when you don't eat -> obvious facts". It could have been interesting if they studied different starving period because 5 days in a month looks random. They should compare 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - etc and see what works best. Thanks science for you method (and I am not saying anything on the diet composition)
