Which disorder is characterized by an appetite for substances that are largely non-nutritive?

The term Pica was drawn directly from the medieval Latin word for magpie, a bird subject to much folklore regarding its opportunistic feeding behaviors.

watched a very disturbing documentary of people that suffer from this Picca condition, weird

Many people suffering from iron deficiency have pica especially a craving for ice.

Maestra, yes, without the calories

does this have anything to do with performers that swallow anything in front of audiences.

I was told that in the case of eating something strange during pregnancy has nothing to do with Pica but yes an instinctive reaction to the body to get wats it’s needs . Eg: eating soil or clay can be related with lack of minerals

Maestra, it’s lack of iron

As an ice lover, I say that’s no disorder, just a desire for crunchy stuff.

what nonsense
