Animal findings and the human lifespan boundary
According to the description, the video covers what fasting does inside the body and what animal studies actually show. It also addresses where human research draws the line on lifespan claims. The description gives no species, outcome, size or direction of any effect, so no benefit for human lifespan can be taken from it.
