Addiction. A craving for ice is usually a sign of anemia. I don't know why but it just is. I got Ice picca and googled it and it said about anemia. Off to the doctor I went with my Google diagnosis and it was true, it fact it was so severe I had to have blood transfusions!! I have an iron mal-absobtion problem with irn but I now know that as soon as I start looking longingly at the ice tray I have to book in for another iron infusion. My doctor was so impressed with this info he's looked into and says that any abnormal or weird craving is the body telling you it is lacking something and to take in seriously and get bllod tests done.

I have information that eating ice is also helps in burning calories?Is it true?Since body has to burn calories to mantain its body temperature.Any inputs are welcome.

You can throw out the whole burn calories theory. I know someone that eats ice and he is overweight and gaining. If eating ice made you thinner, then you could potentially argue that sitting in a walk-in freezer 30 minutes a day would make you thinner.

Usually it is because your body is lacking iron, meaning you could be anemic(low iron). Either that or it is just a bad habit... I currently am trying to include iron supplements into my routine to see if the craving decreases- if not, I will have to visit my doctor to get it checked out

It's not BAD for you, remember that ice is just water that was frozen.

Well, some people chew on ice because their body gives out heat and they want to reduce the heat. While others just felt like chewing on it at this moment or so.

Maybe because you are hot and your body wants to cool down, or some people just like the taste.
