It could be dangerous without medical supervision and a tangible knowledge of the person’s regular diet. Angel should not be advising anyone to fast for 72 hours. Judging by what Angel just said to Noirin I think it is has more to do with making herself look interesting than anything else.
People fast all over the world for religious reasons all the time.
Or she's just crazy. I just want to stuff a double cheese burger down her throat.

But surely not for that long, and regularly from the sounds of it?

The human body is very resiliant,when I was ill years ago I didn't eat any solid foods for three weeks just liquids,water glucose drinks.I was fine,doctor wasn't worried at all.Three weeks is ok,after that time things start deteriorating.
I don't think it should be done without consulting a doctor or health expert. Angel is probably at peak fitness with the amount gym and exercise she does, also with her type od diet, it probably wouldn't affect her.

Was there anything else in the drinks though? Surely there was some form of nutrition in them?
My mother used to do a 'turf out' weekend once a month. She didn't eat anything and only drunk water and camomile tea.
if you are going to fast you are better starting off with a short amount of time & doing it for a reason. So that you have a target to reach. And drink plenty of water
the human body can go a lot longer without foods than fluids/
When people fast, they aren't allowed to eat in daylight, but when it's dark they can, untill fasting is over, people who are in that religon and have health issues can't last 3 days not eating. I couldn't do it, i'm shore it isn't healthy, you'd go dizzy and get light headed.
It's the one area which she thinks she can have control over. That's why she wanted to do it I think. She also said she wanted to oose some weight anyway - why? I don't know. Unless she thinks it puts her in the spotlight, which it did.
Spagetti water? Right she's gross and crazy.
there are certain things you can fast. Say chocolate, coffee/tea, breads & cereals. 1 at a time for a few days is a good way to start. I mean they are already fasting from TV
Didn't Jesus do it for 40 days? And he could heal the sick, and everything!

If it would enable me to turn water into wine I might consider it.

Just glucose.No soup or anything.

Yes, she is kind of making herself into a martyr come to think of it (except without the religious beliefs).
I'm shore Angel do the not eating thing for 3 days on the outside world, you have things to do that would take your mind off it, but in the bb house i'm shore it's harder because you get board, and you want to eat more.
Shes drinking glucose so she is really detoxing her body i think...... 
She said the other day she is used to detoxing her body, and she's a boxer so should know exactly what she should be drinking to keep her fluids stable.

It's easy to do it for one day a week. I used to just drink warm water and a squeeze of lemon juice and it never did me any harm but I don't think I would do it for three days.
I trained with a guy that used to drop out of training for a week now and then as he was fasting for detox, I don't do it myself though.

Seven days on turnips out a farmers' field
I suppose it depends on the general health of the faster. I had an eating disorder when I was younger and I would often go for several days without anything but water. It's certainly not healthy in the long term but I don't think short term fasting is a major problem for the human body. 
It can be dangerous and I feel she has done it before she looks very unhealthy , I think she has eating problems I dont know why she feels she has to prove it can be done, but this is only my opinion I could be wrong could be a way of getting attention.
Occasional short term fasting probably won't do any harm if you're healthy amd maintain fluids - bit like detox. Could be dangerous if you did it too often say because of an eating disorder or a way to cotrol weight.

I think she is doing it for attention also otherwise why would she go one about it so much
and whats with the spaghetti water ? I don't understand what thats go to do with a detox

Angel clearly has issues with food and body image anyway. I think a lot of health freaks do.

Yes I know of drinking cabbage water (even tried it before) and did wonder if there was anything in spaghetti water other than starch which was beneficial, I just find her strange sucking on raw eggs etc lol

Unlike drinking veg water there is no nutritional benefit to drinking spaghetti water BUT the starch might help with a feeling of fullness.
