Cravings for particular foods:

Post by Seth »

As I had read before, the body is very adept at providing a signal(s) when it is in need of something of which it is not getting enough. I have recently found myself having such an experience with tomatoes. I wonder what exactly does a tomato provide in larger quantities that other fruits may not?

Yes, its often about nutrients, but it may also be about providing a (alkalic) balance for the sweeter fruits you eat. Im thinking of the latter as tomatoes are a very much balanced vegetable-fruit; they are rich in many nutrients, wheras not very rich in any nutrients.

Hi Seth.

I don't know if this may be considered a general rule.
I crave VERY MUCH for bread (a real drug for me), many children for Coca-cola.

But is there anything in Coca-cola or in bread we absolutely need?
I don't really think so.

But maybe you're talking just about fruits...
