2016 Nobel prize winner scientifically
proves that fasting is good for health
Moscow, October 5, 2016
Yoshinori Ohsumi, a cellular biologist
from Japan, became a Nobel Prize winner in physiology and
medicine “for discovering the mechanisms of autophagy.” The
Japanese scientist has scientifically substantiated that fasting
is good for one’s health, reports the Komsomolskaya Pravda
Russian newspaper.
The Nobel Prize Committee’s press release
reads:
“Ohsumi’s discoveries have led to a new
paradigm in our understanding of how a cell processes its
contents. His discoveries have opened new ways of understanding
the fundamental importance of autophagy for a large number of
physiological processes, such as adaptation to starvation and
response to an infection.”
Autophagy is the process of utilizing and
recycling unnecessary or dysfunctional cellular components—the
so-called cellular rubbish which accumulates in cells. The term
“autophagy” originates from two Greek words which summarily mean
“self-eating.” Autophagy is intrinsic to living organisms,
including those of human beings. Thanks to autophagy cells get
rid of excess parts, while an organism gets rid of unnecessary
cells.
Autophagy becomes especially intensive
when an organism is under stress, for example, when it fasts. In
this case a cell produces energy using its internal resources,
that is, cellular rubbish, including pathogenic bacteria.
The Nobel Prize winner’s discovery
indicates that abstaining from food and keeping fasts is
wholesome—the body truly cleans itself. This is confirmed by the
Nobel Prize Committee.
According to Ohsumi’s colleagues,
autophagy protects organisms from premature senility. This
process even probably rejuvenates organisms by creating new
cells, removing defective proteins and damaged intracellular
organelles from them, thus maintaining them in good condition.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their
intelligence at its full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL"
on some articles does not mean that I agree with their content
or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I believe it is
important for the people of this planet to know about what
people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected
articles in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in
America praying for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was
stupid enough to believe that I was supporting praying to change
the weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor of
drugs, anti-semitic, anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or
inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any other
stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about
them. Common sense, which is usually very good among our
readers, is good enough to understand that. When, like in the
recent articles on drug decriminalization, it is necessary to
make it clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very
clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to
throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and sad people
use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal record.
That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical
purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which
must be absolute. That does not mean again of course that I
agree with anti-Jews, antisemites, racists of any kind or
anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies or the enemies of
your values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love
and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the
French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".
