> After six months of starvation the participants have lost a bit less than a quarter of the weight with which they have entered the experiment. Median weight in the group was 52 kg.
> Keys wanted to find an optimal amount of calories for the rehabilitation period and divided the participants into four subgroups, that started to receive additional 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 kcal per day. Within these subgroups were people whom Keys prescribed also vitamin and protein supplements.
> In several weeks it turned out that the supplements are useless, and the people who received the smallest number of additional calories, didn’t start to recover at all. In the end Keys have concluded, that to start the recovering, the body should consume about 4000 kcal daily.
> Dr Ancel Keys has prepared recommendation to the allies, preparing to rehabilitate the citizens of Europe. First of all, the allies should perform the physical rehabilitation, and only then start talks about democracy. Giving away vitamins and protein supplements is a pointless measure. No rehabilitation may start with 200 kcal per day, the real recovery starts only with 4000.

Did I just read about food as an ideological weapon. And the year is 1945.
