The human body was meant to run on fat. We have enough fat stored in our bodies to last us 40 to 70 days without any food at all. Even the leanest of us, carry an enormous amount of fuel in an fuel tank around our midsections. When fasting, this is the fat that used for energy. If toxins are stored in fat cells, and we were meant to be running on fat (as opposed to sugar) then our bodies are not only efficient fat-burning machines, they are efficient toxin-burning machines. This is why water fasting is the best detox. Better than juice fasting, better than most supplements. Water fasting burns fat faster and more efficiently and therefore is the one fast that burns off toxins the quickest.
Secondly, I am quite sure there are significant and unique hormonal adaptions that occur during fasting that promote longevity, detoxification, mental acuity, and a host of other benefits. It stands to reason that if our bodies were meant to run on fat. If we evolved to top up and run down our fuel stores. That the process of running those fat stores down would provoke beneficial biosystemical responses. If we don't fast regularly, we don't get those beneficial responses and our systems are not operating anywhere near their potential.
