May I suggest that you stay away from such sources of information when it comes to lifestyle choices? Russian Orthodox Church isn't known to promote self-improvement or agree with science unless it supports their claims somehow.

The eagerness with which they beat the nail on its head...

    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.

Yes, yes. Nobel Prize. Must mean he's very clever or something, so all you heathens should listen as well. We're right about this, because we and the Nobel Prize laureate say the same thing!

Meanwhile, on the sidebar, under "Also Here You Can Read":

    Greek metropolitan: “How have we come down to this? Instead of rising against disgraceful sodomy, the court has summoned a bishop of the Most High God!”

Wasn't that enlightening! You must be truly in the right, then!

Dear Christ...
