My 3 year old neice LOVES chewing ice. Any resteraunt we go to, she begs for ice!! She has been known to pass up a sugary sweet in order to chew on ice

FYI, I enjoy chewing raw pasta much more than ice…

Hey! I was just chewing ice and stumbled upon this… I have one problem with the anemic scenario. A few months ago I was diagnosed with HIGH iron. I hope chewing ice causes anemia!

When the ice forms, the iron in the water is concentrated and gives a brief systematic “boost”. the body continues to crave that boost (much like chocolate, or cigarettes), hence the craving to eat more ice.

btw – sonic/hospital ice rocks!

“hey..i eat ice like crazy and…its like the onlything i eat..i have stopped craving food and when i do feel hungry i eat ice…” – Anon

Is it possible that these people don’t chew ice compulsively because they are anemic, but rather they are anemic because all they eat is ice? Just a thought.
