Chinese man 'goes 10 years without eating'

A man in China claims to have gone 10 years without eating food.

Ning Xuefa, 22 - who has chronic thirst-inducing disease - says he gave up eating when he was 10 years old and now just drinks 15 litres of water a day.

Ning also claims to drink milk now and again but insists his family can rarely afford to purchase the white stuff because they are so poor.

His claims have left doctors bemused as to how he could have stayed alive for so long without food.
