Fine...
I remember reading a study whereby those who ate less during there life
lived considerably older. Also folks associated with not eating, or
eating very little are known to practice some kind of spiritual
activities (special breathing, meditation...). Most people who are
offended by certain claims, claims defacto claimed as fraudulent, do not
bother to replicate openly and sincerly the experiment, or even to read
the material available etc.
