We live in a pretty litigious society. Everything has to be caveated to cover the lowest common denominator. On top of that nutrition is a complex subject filled with a lot of mis-information. In this particular case fasting can be risky for those who are obese or have a lot of toxins in their fatty tissue.
From what I understand, pollutants in food (from pesticides and other sources) and in the environment which are not easily broken down are stored by the body in fat.
Fasting or sudden weight loss can cause these toxins to be released more rapidly than would otherwise be the case. This can tax your system pretty heavily if you're obese or have a higher incidence of pollutants in your body.
