Just read this, wondering if it's true?

neat

Lol no. They're just taking common food cravings, finding an important nutrient in each and saying that your body knows what micros it needs and that's why you crave that specific food.

Thought it might be some shyt like this.

What actually causes cravings then though?

More likely minor neural addictive pathways developing in the brain. You eat something you really enjoy once and develop that neural synapse, and then any time you think about what would be most satisfying you go back to that addiction-reward circuit that pushes you to desire the food you developed an association for.

Science'd

this is definitely a possibility, but i like to take a different approach on this subject.

i agree that it is due to a mineral/vitamin deficiency that we sometimes get strong cravings for food. a good example would be a pregnant woman. now you might say, this isnt true because not all pregnant women have the same cravings. this is because theyre not all deficient in the same minerals/vitamins! her body is spending a lot of her stores to create and build a new human being, and her body is telling her what she needs.

another example would be dogs/cats eating grass. a lot of people will just assume this is because the animal is not feeling well and wishes to vomit to alleviate nausea, but from my understanding, its due to a lack of minerals/vitamins in their diets! the animals will not just eat any grass species, but rather search for specific species that typically have high concentrations of nitrilosides.

of course, this is all theory. who really knows! just my take on it.

weak mind

Not even close lol

pretty sure if i want some ice cream , a fken apple aint gona do chit
