Fasting has lots of well-documented benefits, but your claim sounds pseudoscientific. A water-fasting proponent would probably encourage us to drink water to "flush out toxins".

What toxins, exactly, are being "drawn out" here? And if it's true: is drawing lots of toxins out of fat cells into blood and surrounding tissue a good thing? I'd love to see some sources.
