EXPERIMENT: ULTIMATE HUNGER TEST. CREEPY EFFECT OF STARVATION TO MIND.
Starvation is a natural response to hunger, but what if the feeling of starvation persisted for six months? In the 1940s, a group of healthy men underwent the ultimate hunger test as part of a study conducted at the University of Minnesota. Surprisingly, the most challenging aspect of the study was not the period of starvation, but the subsequent refeeding phase. Even more disturbing were the effects on their mental state throughout the ordeal. They became utterly fixated on food to the point where it consumed their every thought. Some even descended into insanity, and one volunteer even harmed himself because he could no longer bear it. All of this was done in the name of aiding the millions of people who unwillingly starve during war.
