A member asked:
For what deficency would you be craving to eat licorice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron deficiency: Is most common, some say that you could be pregnant! real black licorice (the real kind, not not any other type of licorice, or artificial) is very metabolically active in the body so lots of things could be the cause. Or maybe you just like it!

Lately I've had a "craving" for chemical smells (gasoline, rubber cement, etc). Is this a sign of a vitamin deficiency, or any other health issue?
