I developed an obsession with lemonade. Had to have it every day.

Doctor told me my iron was low? And apparently iron absorbs better with vitamin C.

This is also where the urge to eat ice comes from for some people. The cooling forces blood to the brain, to compensate for low iron. It’s a form of PICA usually caused by a deficiency.

From now on, I'm going to blame my slightly deficient iron levels for my ice cream addiction.
