Does eating ice dehidrate you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is a old superstition. People who crave ice may be iron deficient -- i always doubted this old teaching until i discovered myself wanting ice chips and went on to find i'd iron-depleted myself with overfrequent blood bank deposits. Don't overdo it, and thanks for asking.
