BBC Horizon: Eat, Fast and Live Longer (2012)

This episode shows how fasting can reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes.

This program makes a bold point about hormone and chemical levels being much more strongly correlated with longevity than is likely to be the case. There are a lot of other factors that contribute to premature aging and susceptibility to certain illnesses and diseases, diet, exercise, and lifestyle among them.

To be sure, fasting is probably not a terrible idea for most of those of us who have been brought up eating a Western diet. There's probably something to be said for the human body failing to evolve quickly enough to adapt to the continuous supply of sugary, salty, and fatty foods on a nearly 24/7/365 basis -- rather than the feast/famine environment during the first million years of its evolution... But a switch to eating real foods, not too much, and mostly vegetables is clearly a good way to go.
