I wasn't making "my point". I just knew your comment about 30-40 days and the random mentioning of concentration camp victims was absurd, and it clearly is according to official clinical guidelines. So no, I won't "just check online".
> Historically, some of the earliest reports of the refeeding syndrome occurred in starved patients in wartime such as Japanese prisoners and victims of the Leningrad or Netherlands famines. In general, those individuals with marasmus or kwashiorkor are at risk for the refeeding syndrome, particularly if there is greater than 10%
weight loss over a couple of months. Patients are at risk if they have not been fed for 7 to 10 d, with evidence of stress and depletion. However, more specifically, this syndrome also has been described after prolonged fasting, massive weight loss in obese patients including after duodenal-switch operations, chronic alcoholism, prolonged intravenous fluid repletion, and anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is one of the more common modern clinical presentations of the refeeding syndrome, as are oncology
patients undergoing chemotherapy, the refeeding of malnourished elderly individuals, and certain postoperative patients.
It is rare that eating after fasting causes critical illness. Just check online. People do this stuff all the time.
