The Hinom SCs flavor text implies that they may hurt their own population.

They devour population. I don't remember how much, exactly, but it's something like 30 pop/month/Rephaite in EA. The Rephaite Warrior units, Kohen (priests), Melqarts (thugs) and Ba'al (mages) all do this, and because they're all capital-only, you probably want to take Growth to keep your capital from dying.

DO they do that standard or only if there isn't enough food though?

I've forgoten that, didn't noticed it in fact when I tested Hinomm (I'm so lazy in sp that my balz were blood hunting in the capitol... so losing pop looked normal). But it's an interesting disavantadge in the long run (but as main researchers don't do that it's probably not a big one).

It's every turn even if they have enough normal food. I didn't test if they eat more people when they run out of food.
