FACT or CRAP ?

CRAP

Nutritional science proves that fasting for extended periods leads to starvation, dehydration, and eventual death.

A study by the University of Colorado proved that reindeer run away faster and further from a person disguised as a polar bear than a person in regular hiking gear.

Okay, I'm protesting this

The question wasn't whether humans can survive without food. The question was "according to breatharians" - that's true. What kind of idiot (other than breatharians) think humans can survive without food

Probably FACT but I'm wondering if it's a different university...like in a place where there's more reindeer.

Uhh... this is wrong. Again. This one even has a Wikipedia page!

Everyone with a brain knows you need food and water to survive, but there are definitely some ~~religious nutjobs~~ lobotomy survivors out there who think otherwise and thankfully aren't reproducing because, as Vadster said, they ded.

I'm just going to go with CRAP on this one (and every one, if we're being honest), and I look forward to finding this study in the near future.
