This is so unscientific, and it's in GQ (sorry!) but the guy supervising the fast mentions eyes...I don't know if there anything in it...but may be of interest.

I think even if there was anything in this it's not in anyone's interest to investigate methods which do not make a profit. Which is incredibly sad really...

Thanks for posting.

I haven't read the release however, it's old news. Fasting encourages Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) which helps activate number of genes involved with age reversal and cell renewal. However, a few supplements can do a similar thing such as Resveratrol - a well known Sirtuin activator. Interestingly some people obtain relief from dry eyes using Resveratrol.

Fasting can also help. Let's face it, we eat too much so anything to cut down the weight gain and reduce calories isn't a bad thing either.
