When I understand Ceros right, he thinks that your post has more
to do with myths than with science. Am I right Ceros?
Yes, that is correct.

I'd also like to see more evidence on that and not just theories. For me fasting is just a big riddle. Why not just eating healthy in the first place?
I talked to Michael Rae (Aubrey de Grey's assistant), and from what I understand he believes that fasting activates the same pathways as Caloric Restriction does. In other words:
Caloric Restriction > fasting + eating healthily > eating healthily.

That seems like a plausible theory to me, but those that doubt the effectiveness of CR might disagree with me.
