I don't chew ice but now I will. JK I never heard that before but it's an interesting concept. My dad chews ice all the time and my mom complains and tells him that his teeth are going to fall out if he keeps that up. So I guess for some cases it could be true. I can't stand to chew ice though it hurts. I always drink with a straw because ice hurts my teeth so much.

Chewing on ice is a form of PICA. The condition's name comes from the Latin word for the magpie, a bird which is reputed to eat almost anything. Pica is seen in all ages, particularly in pregnant women and small children, especially among children who are developmentally disabled where it is the most common eating disorder.
More specifically, Pagophagia, is the compulsive consumption of ice. It has been shown to respond to iron supplementation, leading some investigators to postulate that pica is the result, not the cause, of nutritional deficiency (specifically, deficiencies of iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus). Folk wisdom (and some early investigators) maintained that pica reflected a compensatory appetite. Later research, however, has demonstrated no evidence that the substances ingested provide any nutrient or mineral in which patients are deficient.
Ice probably helps relieve some of the symptoms of low iron, including inflammation of the tongue and stomach.
Answer--> It has also been suggested that chewing of ice reflects sexual frustration, although research can neither confirm or deny.
