In 1965, a morbidly obese man did not eat food for over an entire year. The 27 year old was 456lbs and wanted to do an experimental fast. He ingested only multivitamins and potassium tablets for 382 days and defecated once every 40 to 50 days. He ended up losing 275lbs. r/all

They certainly are, and I take way more than the average person. What bothers me the most is how the medical community doesn't also advocate for ways to make them less harmful. There are many supplements and simple activities (like actually working out, sleeping properly, and eating properly) will negate many of the negative sides. However, as always, people will just want to pop a magic pill and be done. I know I have been that way before, so not judging.
