Cupofkindness:
The problem with chocolate is that the scientific community has yet to recognize it as an essential food group. When that day comes, everyone will see that we are simply craving a nutrient that our bodies absolutely need to survive.

Oh, and by the way, I am going to nominate you for Cannonization…today.
 
I don’t know about PMS cravings, but pregnancy cravings ARE linked to nutrient deficiencies, according to my friend’s OB. Now what nutrient causes you to crave dirt or paint or any otherwise inedible snack, who knows?
 
about salt and your period: Salt contributes to high blood pressure. Period=blood loss=drop in BP.

I have rather low BP at times, and crave salt almost all the time. My ex bf, also with terribly low BP, also loves salt. I wonder if this in any coincidence.

As for the chocolate, well… I just don’t know. Doesn’t caffiene have some kind of effect on your blood vessels, and that’s why they use it in pain medicine like Excedrin?
