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.
