#2What happens if I use this drug to switch to burning fat but keep eating carbohydrates? Where do they go?

#4This is about intestinal stem cells in specific.
And, of course, in mice.
(Still noteworthy if you are trying to understand why fasting seems to help with many different ailments.)

#5Not read the article, but I have few questions for kind folks who read it.
1. Was the study a human study or mice study?
2. If the study was human, how long should one fast for?
3. If the study was done on mice, what would be the equivalent hours of fasting in humans to observe same benefits? For example, rats fasted for 3 days experience autophagy, but rats would die if fasted for 5 days, so that 3 day cannot be applied to humans without an equivalent inflation of the time frame.
3. Was fasting the trigger or the resultant calorie restriction?
Thanks

#6So poor people are healthier? By poor I refer to third world countries, where people can spend a day or two without eating, not in the West sense where poor means eating junk food.

I did not read the article so I can't give you an educated answer but my gut feeling is that this only works if you add high value food (proteins, nutrients, ...) after the fasting so that your body can then do something useful.
Only taking the food away or adding low quality food will most likely not solve anything

All other things being equal: Maybe.
But all other things are not equal, so: No.

No because these people are often malnourished.
