Today I’m going to show you and tell you about the top 5 strange eating addictions people have. We will start with number 5 and work our way to the number 1 addiction.  Tell us what you think and if you would dare to try any of them.

  1. Eating cornstarch

Some people have an eating disorder called pica which is when people eat food with little to no nutritional value in it. So this is why humans eat raw cornstarch because of there low iron problems so they start eating it and get addicted to it.

 

  1. Drinking nail polish

A woman named Bertha that is 23 years old has an interesting addiction.  When she gets thirsty she doesn’t think to get some water or juice or pop, this lady reaches for a bottle of nail polish and drinks up to 5 bottles per day.

 

  1. Eating couch cushion

A woman named Adel eats couch cushions. She has had this addiction for 2 years and in those 2 years, she has eaten 7 couches and 2 sofa chairs. To be honest I don’t think I could ever even eat one couch.  Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase, “Eating you out of house and home”!

 

  1. Eating GLASS!!

Josh has a glass eating problem! He tells people that eating glass is like “eating horrendously sharp rock candy”. Crazy right? He really has a crazy eating addiction.  We don’t recommend you try this at home!

 

  1. Eating cremated ashes?!

One woman named Casey started carrying her husband’s ashes around with her after his death from an asthma attack, after he was cremated she started to eat his ashes. She started this addiction when she opened his box one time and the ashes accidentally fell on her fingers and she said she didn’t wipe it away because that’s disrespectful so she decides she was going to eat it and since then she has just been eating ashes. Interesting, but I’m not here to judge!
