A member asked:
If only drinking fluids, how long would you survive, and what would be the signs death was approaching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluids or water?: Calories can be supplied through a liquid diet. Calorie intake via fluids does not equate to death. Think of the people who liquify meats, vegetables, fruits - etc to drink them.
