There is a medical name for eating ice all the time. It's called "PICA" pronounced PIE-KA. You are lacking nutrients in your body.

I think it's that if you chew ice, it can damage your teeth - at least that's what my orthodontist told me.

It can mean that you are anemic, which is true. I don't know why.
