I'm just too used to seeing extraordinary dietary benefits being promoted for all sorts of fad foods/diets like blueberries, grapefruit, atkins diet, paleo diet, etc... So I felt like pointing out that there was very little in the way of experimental evidence in that paper (I'm from a physics background, love my data).

With any luck this won't be another one of those papers that gets perverted in the press to "Fasting cures cancer!"
