    Can you actually starve yourself to death?

    Question #96997. Asked by Matthew_07. (Jun 26 08 7:49 AM)

    		Absolutely.

    Starvation is a severe reduction in vitamin, nutrient, and energy intake, and is the most extreme form of malnutrition. In humans, prolonged starvation (in excess of 1-2 months) causes permanent organ damage and, eventually, death.
