Why is it bad to eat Ice? |
Issue I was told that it was bad for your health and bad for your teeth. Please explain. Best Tip got this off askjeeves.com on one of the links It doesn't ruin the enamel, but it can crack your teeth. It's like bending a stick of regular gum and then putting it in the freezer for a few hours and bending it. It is more likely to break after being in the freezer. If you have a habit and have to chew ice, try chewing crushed ice or slushies. I have also heard, but don't know how true it is, that if you crave ice, it could be a sign of anemia. Tip Leslie is right about the craving for ice being a sign of anemia. I wouldn't have believed it, but my wife used to eat a couple of glasses of ice every day. She stopped doing that after she was treated for extremely low iron and potassium levels. Tip I found out almost a week ago I am anemic. In the last month and a half I have been eating a lot of ice (which I thought was a bit odd for me) and was having all the other classic symptoms as well. I didn't tell the doctor about the ice because, until I found this message board, I had no idea a craving for ice was a symptom! I see the doctor today, so I am going to ask him about this. So if you'll excuse me I need to get another glass of ice! P.S. I do find that the crashed ice is better. I eat ice all the time. Im telling you i LOVE ice. I have a refrigerator that makes ice and crushed ice. Its the best. The thing is i only eat the crushed ice so i guess im not doing much harm to my teeth. Tip Hey I love to chew ice and my sister tells me all the time that it ruins the enamel so I slow down on it but I have to have it. Like my mom buys me ice every 2 days. I like the sonic ice. But I dont know what to do and what to believe. Breanna Samuels Others I don't think eating ice is bad. The only thing is the cold might hurt your teeth and you could get a headache by sticking it to the top of your mouth. It puts micro cracks in your teeth causes them to look yellow Chewing on ice is like chewing on ball bearings, it's too hard and could crack your teeth. Plus the cold is not good for the teeth. If you must intake ice, just let it melt in your mouth after it's been broken up into small pieces, but don't chew. I don't think it is bad .I think it is good when you have a throat ache cause it can solve the inflammatory . It breaks your teeth! Please ask your doctor to check you for anemia. I don' tknow WHY, but chewing ice is often associated with anemia. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/chewing... |
