“In medicine, we are
discovering the healing powers of fasting, as the avoidance of the hormonal
rushes that come with the ingestion of food. Hormones convey information to the
different parts of our system, and too much of them confuses our biology. Here
again, as with news received at too high a frequency, too much information
becomes harmful—daily news and sugar confuse our system in the same manner.” –Nassim
Taleb, Antifragile
