Scientist 'lives on sunlight'

[Euro Dollar]

A German scientist is being studied by colleagues after claiming to have eaten nothing for four years.

Cancer researcher Dr Michael Werner claims to get all his energy from sunlight.

He says he drinks only water mixed with a small amount of fruit juice.

Dr Werner has written a book about his experiences, saying that when he started the experiment he even managed to put on weight.

In his book, Living through the Energy of Light, he says: "I can't really explain what is happening on a scientific level in my case, but perhaps just a little bit of faith is all that is needed."

German colleagues who are investigating the source of Dr Werner's energy say only plants can synthesise energy from the sun, but so far they are at a loss to explain how he is managing to stay healthy.

Dr Helmut Oberritter, head of the German society for nutrition, said: "It is not possible to live on what one gets from fruit juice alone.

"There are lots of vital proteins and fats that are missing. Obviously this case needs a lot more investigating if we are to explain it."

if it's not a true story how could it be interesting?

"african man lives with a tribe of monkeys and eats only bark and dirt.. but remains alive after 3 years, no research was done on the man and we aren't too sure if he exists.. but maybe.. "

yah, i really don't see any truth in this story... I mean, I was able to live off of sunlight (and tanning lights when cloudy out - kinda like junk food for the sun diet though, you can get addicted) for about 6 months - but then I started to get a little chubby and had to switch back to food and beer to lose some weight. But I just don't see anybody being able to go 4 entire years without any alcohol, especially a German - it just doesn't sound very plausable.
