"The amount of sodium chloride in human blood and in urine is always kept within a very narrow range of 9 g per L (0.9% by weight). Drinking seawater (which contains about 3.5% ions of dissolved sodium chloride) temporarily increases the concentration of sodium chloride in the blood, so the only way to excrete the excess sodium chloride in the urine is by sacrificing internal water from cells. The cells eventually give so much water to try to dilute the salt that they die from dehydration, quickly followed by organs and eventually the organism."

In my opinion anything you are craving, like sometimes i crave salt, is a sign that your body wants or needs it, but sometimes being a woman you can crave sweet things when your are pregnant or due for your period or even after your period, you can also crave sweet things when you are breast feeding, many reasons why the body does these kind of things but it is always for a reason. I feel it is important to listen to your body, but try to do so in a healthy way, if you are wanting sugar then have a sweet orange or even a muesli bar. Hope this helps.
