Hey there community.

 Recently I’ve been checking out a bunch of websites promoting fasting for medical reasons. I’ve read that it could help prevent cancer and colds, is good for your colon, and also that it can be wonderful with mental illnesses. It’s been compared to the results of getting a surgery. But it also specified that starvation would be a different thing all together.

 I guess I just can’t really see the difference between fasting and self induced starvation.

 What’s the different? 

 Thanks!
