I am really addicted.
I might be anemic, too.
The addiction is called "pica" and it's an eating disorder caused by low iron levels. You just crave them and you really can't help it.
I have a question that I asked about anemia a few weeks ago on here. Check it out... there's a lot of symptoms and information there.

yes. I used to be. This is becuase i'm anemic. before i took iron pills i crunched like crazy. i regeret it b/c my once sharp teeth are now all dull. feel like a senior citizen. at least they still look pretty.

YES! I am. I know it's bad for your teeth but I can't help it. I drive people crazy with it. Someone also once told me that it means you are low on iron which doesn't make ANY sense to me but oddly enough I am anemic (iron low).

Have your doctor test for an IRON deficiency in your blood. This habit can be a sign of this problem.

Have you had your iron levels checked?
