Living on ice and gum for 3 months?


Question:
What would happen if someone who lived one nothing but gum and ice for 3 months straight?? I'm not planning on doing it, but I know of someone who did and I didn't think it was possible.

Answers:
Its called anorexia nervosa. Its an eating disorder that can cause loss of hair, teeth and nails; heart and kidney failure, permanent stunted growth, sterilization, ulcers, depression, anxiety and ultimately death.
Your body will begin to shut down. You can only live so long without eating.
Does he swalllow the gum? Otherwise he/she has to be lying.
i don't really know..
I agree...I don't know how they survived for 3 months w/out any nutrition.
Yeah I doubt that...They would colapse from no food..There kidneys would fail and next there heart..NO WAY
living off of gum and ice would put your body in to skinny bones, anorexic like state and you might die because of it.
they could live beecuase their are a few calories in gum.. But not many.. the person would become extremely weak and barely able to move or chew after a few weeks. the person would die after a few months and not be able to chew the calories out of the gum.
If you want to harm your body then go for it. Gum is not good for you. Sounds to me like you are thinking of doing that. This person has an eating disorder called anorexia. If this person's family does not know about this then you should tell them about it. It is serious and they could die from doing something like that. This person needs help now before they die of starvation.
