What is this conjecture based on?
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that fasting, and even intermittent fasting, is a good thing (actually, I seem to recall some papers/articles have ended up on HN). Fasting has also been shown to regenerate the immune system[1]
Besides, I have enough body fat to supply calories for a good bit longer than 5 days :)
