Sounds like very respectable achademic credentials.
Break down of what? Yes, fatty acids are broken down first but muscle tissue is harder to lose. It would take around 3-4 days of complete fasting to do this, but also set up conditions for extreme anabolism.
Why is a mod trolling for an argument? I could make the same arguments about credibility and penis enlargement or just tell you to google.
