ICE EATING Anonymous
Hey /fit/, I have a question!

I have an ice eating habit. I go through about 10 trays (the old school blue ones like in the pic)a day right now but it was worse at one point. Can munching on all this frozen water have an negative effects on me?

I live in Texas. "Cool" here is 80 degrees.
Thanks for the info though.

should be okay depending on your environment

I've read that you could be ingesting toxins from the polymers used to make the ice trays like the ones pictured. As they degrade over time, you are ingesting trace amounts of paraffins.

FUUUUUUUUCK. I knew I had problems with my iron levels, but I never would have guessed that my ice eating was a result of it. Those iron supplements make me feel like shit though...

I'd cut it out unless you want your teeth to be at a 50 year old level by the time you're 25. Chew gum, or if you must, chew shaved ice.

Can you explain whats so bad about eating ice?

eating ice induces stress to your gum and teeth (temperature change). I'm not a dentist but I'm sure that's the main issue.

Well fuck, things just keep getting better and better. Good thing I'm not eating the 20+ trays a day like I used to. I actually had to throw out trays to prevent me from eating so much ice.

Anyone who over came this problem have any suggestions for cutting back/quitting?

This needs to get trolled so hard. Someone acting out a smackhead style ice eater bawwing about how they lost their family to "ice" would be fucking legendary.
