Yes, the above statements are false. The heart uses fatty acids for 90% of its energy demands and muscles at rest also use a considerable amount of fatty acids for energy demands.

Each Organ Has a Unique Metabolic Profile
From the above Biochemistry text:
In resting muscle, fatty acids are the major fuel, meeting 85% of the energy needs.
Moreover, the heart has virtually no glycogen reserves. Fatty acids are the heart's main source of fuel, although ketone bodies as well as lactate can serve as fuel for heart muscle. In fact, heart muscle consumes acetoacetate in preference to glucose.
Okay....and the other 30 trillion cells run on?.....Glucose.
No matter who runs the show, differing opinions are paramount to open discourse on a free and public forum.
Of course. But this isn't a matter of opinion.
I don't know these guys personally, but I don't believe anyone to be so scared and confused that they can't formulate their own opinion based on information given to them.
Lol....then you don't know pfs guys my man. Many of them are EXACTLY this way. And who can blame them. Muddying the waters with this petty back and forth is doing nothing for the benefit of this section and this group of guys. As someone who doesn't have pfs, I'm surprised you'd want to even spend time here seeing as it's not your usual run of the mill forum experience.
Might as well just not eat anything if that's the main goal. The body will take from its body fat stores to run the show. Brain fog would be pretty real, though.
Water fasting is the best option, but juice feasting is the second best option given each individuals situation. And yes, I'm very familiar. I've done four extended water fasts and one extended juice feast. The water fasts were three at 21 days and one at 14 days over the course of five years. The juice feast was 45 days. And during a fast, you actually have a clearer mind then any other time. Brain fog is actually non-existent once you settle into the fast. So when you have somebody who starts talking about how bad a juice feast is when they've never experienced what it can do to cleanse the system, it serves no purpose other then to confuse and argue. I'm done arguing. Without first hand experience, it's just look at this study, look what this says.......all means nothing. EXPERIENCE......that's where it's at. And not just my own....all of the men I've coached as well.
True, as someone who currently takes finasteride and hasn't noticed any negative effects at my current dosage, I'm not familiar with PFS. I wouldn't pretend to have more knowledge than you on that specific subject.
Well, for your sake let's hope it stays that way. Some guys get it after one pill, some after ten years,, some right after quitting.
