Description 1 online resource (72 pages) : illustrations Summary "During the past year we have been privileged to participate in an intensive study of the behavior of men who voluntarily starved in the Laboratory of Physiological Hygiene, University of Minnesota. We have interviewed these men many times. This report covers the profound behavioral and emotional changed that occurred when the men were semistarved for a year. Ss were 32 men (aged 21-33) and were first observed under normal nutritional conditions for 3 months. Then they were systematically semistarved for a period of six months, losing about 25% of their weight. Finally they were rehabilitated for three months. These men were conscientious objectors who had volunteered for the starvation experiment, so that they could be of aid in determining what rehabilitation diets would be most efficacious in feeding the world's starving peoples. They had complete security, in that they were under constant medical supervision and knew they would be taken out of the experiment if anything serious went wrong. Finally we attempt to apply the insights we gained from the starvation experiment to problems relief workers will meet when working in a famine area"--Book.
