A man in India claims he's gone without food or water for 70 years!
Prahlad Jani, an 82-year-old Indian yogi claims that for the past 70 years he has had nothing -- not one calorie -- to eat and not one drop of liquid to drink. To test his claims, Indian military doctors put him under round-the-clock observation during a two-week hospital stay that ended last week, news reports say.
Van Rooyen says that depending on climate conditions like temperature
and humidity, a human could survive five or six days without water,
maybe a day or two longer in extraordinary circumstances. We can go much
longer without food – even up to three months if that person is taking
liquids fortified with vitamins and electrolytes.

To test his claims, Indian military doctors put him under round-the-clock observation during a two-week hospital stay that ended last week, news reports say.
During that time he didn't ingest any food or water – and remained
perfectly healthy, the researchers said. But that's simply impossible,
said Dr. Michael Van Rooyen an emergency physician at Harvard's Brigham
and Women's Hospital, an associate professor at the medical school, and
the director of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative – which focuses on
aid to displaced populations who lack food and water.
