Provided you aren't already malnourished, NO diet, even starvation, is going to be harmful over the course of one month.
100% not true. Ignoring actual poisons, overemphasis in some foods might make you ill, underemphasis might make you ill, too little X might affect your ability to process Y, and just plain starving for a month will leave you with organ damage.
You need to check your references more closely. I checked the last and what it actually said was:
prolonged starvation (in excess of 1–2 months) causes permanent organ damage[citation needed]
Notice it was in excess of 1-2 months, and it gave no citation.
I did realize another exception after I posted - if you have a problem like diabetes or several nutritional or metabolic disorders, you would also have problems.
Refusing to eat for a month isn't harmful? I'm not a nutritionist, but I find that claim absurd.
