Our National Health

I am currently digesting the news that, according to your research, skipping meals might have health benefits. I would tend to agree, but only up to a point. I imagine, for example, that if you skipped too many meals, for example, a few dozen in a row or more, that you might risk exposing yourself to certain other health concerns, viz., death and related complications. Would you agree?
