A member asked:
What happens if a person often has cravings for peppers, what vitamin or nutrient could the person be lacking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely none.: Addictions are a result of habits and associations, not just deficiencies of simple single molecules (e.g. vitamins: molecules found in nearly all foods which humans have long consumed) or other simple "nutrient" issues. Beware most marketing about "simple fixes".
