You can go without quite a few things and still survive for a while, but eventually a shortage in protein or other nutrients will catch up with you. And, yes, just like in every other science, the stats can be fudged by biases of the researcher doing the research. This is why I rely on information published specifically on the governments' webside; they don't seem to have much of an agenda past our own health and well being and most of these studies have been through the peer review process. That doesn't mean that the information is going to be unquestionably right, but that it's less likely to be way out in left field wrong.
Just as a side note, and not that I would worry...but...there -is- an agenda. Ag lobbies aren't exactly un-involved in the process, and their interests do get included. Like you said, not unquestionably right, but not likely to be far left field wrong in aggregate.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
