I have a close friend who loves to chew ice whenever she gets the chance.... all the time to be exact. Anyway, I would like to know whether this practice has any side effects on the body. I am concerned because I vaguely remember reading though a column (Dear Abby or Ann Landers) a few years back, and finding that ice chewing causes iron deficiency. I am not certain this is true, but I am eager to know. Any other facts would be very much appreciated! Thanks.
