Formica Report Annex 232: Army Memo re: Nutritional Sufficiency of Bread and Water Diet
Oct. 6, 2004 | DOA | ACLU-RDI 2709
This Army memo discusses the nutritional sufficiency and health effects of eating primarily a bread and water diet over a period of time. The memo concludes that "diet of bread and water for up to seventeen days should not canoe any health problems. Fasting for days at a time for religious or social reasons typically has no detrimental effect on an individual's health. Adequate consumption of fluids is necessary to ensure that an individual does not become dehydrated."
