Conversely,
You can die of malnutrition with a circulatory system full of blood.
Exactly, Marvin. A transfusion has nothing to do with nutrition.
This is pure Watchtower semantics to support their life-destructive madhatter doctrine.

It is all sematics this eating/transfusion thing, there being no difference is purely on how broad or narrow you make your word definitions.
To the law making Governing Body there is no difference even if it cost the lives of thousands of its members they will not budge. They are in too deep to change now, I think they will keep this view until they go down with the Titanic(organization).

when I learned the truth of blood, and how it works in your body, along with an old WT quote that stated that blood transfusions are "just a organ transplant", back when organ transplants were a no no, It was the end of my participation in htis religion

Could their be a possiblity that this Tribal Diety YHWH is just a projection in the minds of an ancient people of what they beleive to be thier diety's mind.

I have a relative who had a serious medical condition and was tube fed for most of a year. The tube was not into a vein, but into his stomach as the purpose was to nourish his body. If he had been given blood, transfused into a vein he would have died due to lack of nourishment.
Equating a blood transfusion with eating is a spurious illustration and is designed to deceive.

Speaking of WT apologists... Greg Stafford was one of the biggest apologist for the WT, then this very subject alone turned him against the Society. His argument against the blood doctrine is one of the best ones i've read. Stafford documents through published medical research that the body does not eat or digest transfused blood but rather the body runs the blood almost indefinitely throughout the body acting as an organ. I would recommend you read some of his stuff Ethos. www.elihubooks.com

wha happened?
not indefinately. The blood dies after 90 days or so. This is what I learned when my mother was hospitalized. She was suffering liver failure and bleeding out through her liver. They would trnasfuse, given EPO but in 4-6 months she would be back. That's when the Dr gave me a hard lesson on blood, how it's used, and what it's properties are. Needless to say I was shocked. And pissed because I know there are 'dubs in the medical field that would know this policy is shit

“…I know there are 'dubs in the medical field that would know this policy is shit.”
Hence the reason why we do not see so much as one single licensed medical doctor professing themselves as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses who is willing to stand in front of a crowd and answer questions challenging the biblical and/or scientific soundness of Watchtower’s blood doctrine.
That omission screams, and screams loud.
