Not read the article, but I have few questions for kind folks who read it.

1. Was the study a human study or mice study?

2. If the study was human, how long should one fast for?

3. If the study was done on mice, what would be the equivalent hours of fasting in humans to observe same benefits? For example, rats fasted for 3 days experience autophagy, but rats would die if fasted for 5 days, so that 3 day cannot be applied to humans without an equivalent inflation of the time frame.

3. Was fasting the trigger or the resultant calorie restriction?

Thanks

> The researchers found that fasting dramatically improves stem cells’ ability to regenerate, in both aged and young mice.

Need a human study to answer other questions.
