Younger individuals seeking fasting benefits could achieve similar results by lowering LPS or endotoxin through other means, such as reducing resistant starch intake.

“a young person who wants to fast could achieve the same benefits by doing other things that lower LPS or endotoxin not eating as many resistant starches that they're probably eating yeah you know if you get it to the point of fasting means you've done so many other things wrong then now you're basically getting through like these Desperate Measures you have to fast okay I mean maybe like a couple hour fast skipping breakfast and lunch and then eating dinner every once in a while I wouldn't do this every day”

“don't you think also that a young person who wants to fast could achieve the same benefits by doing other things that lower LPS or endotoxin not eating as many resistant starches that they're probably eating yeah you know if you get it to the point of fasting means you've done so many other things wrong then now you're basically getting through like these Desperate Measures you have to fast okay I mean maybe like a couple hour fast skipping breakfast and lunch then eating dinner every once in a while”

“So benefits of fasting primarily reduction of endotoxin coming from undigested food in the colon. Yeah. And you can achieve that like you said, charcoal, reducing your insoluble, reducing your soluble fiber, excuse me, uh reducing your resistant starches, eating more simple carbohydrates, which everyone is afraid of, honey, fruit, juice, fruit, those would probably all achieve the same thing.”
