In 1945, several dozen American conscientious objectors
volunteered to starve themselves under medical supervision. The
goal was to learn how health might be restored after World War II
to the wasted populations of Europe. What the volunteers
endured—and what broke them—sheds light on the scourge of
starvation that today afflicts some 800 million people worldwide.

The 17-page report is here.

Fascinating...and scary.
