The Great Starvation Experiment: Ancel Keys and the Men Who Starved for Science by Todd Tucker

4.5
A very interesting read. It was well written and I liked that there was background information (on the test subjects, Dr Ancel, etc) that led to the decision to do such an experiment. I appreciate that fact after fact wasn't completely spewed out every sentence. You also got to see the emotional/psychological side to the whole thing. It's amazing and truly terrifying to see the deep impact starvation has on both body and mind.
I didn't give the full 5 stars because I would have liked more information on the actual findings of the experiment.
