Why do you crave corn?

In brief, corn has two noticeable elements you may really want: 1. Plant fiber (it moves through your digestive system and helps to move other stuff along) that you do not digest, but is not harmful; and 2. enzymes (and oils you use to cook corn in) that your pancreas likes. In short, your body breaks down the starch molecules in corn to create a type of sugar your body wants.

Why do you crave garlic?

I have done a lot of research to find out why I can't get enough garlic. I eat so much of it that I can no longer smell it or taste it without a large quantity. My Husband tells me I smell like a pickle and yet I still can't get enough.

Throughout my research I have found that garlic does a lot of good things for a person's body, a female especially. Well documented health benefits include reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and increasing lipoproteins(good cholesterol), lowering high blood pressure, helps prevent yeast infections, some cancers, colds, and the flu, as well as having good antibacterial, antifungal, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and immune stimulant properties.

Therefore my conclusion to the craving of garlic is that for some reason my body needs it. I am not the type to visit the Dr. unless I'm on my death bed, so it is possible that i have a bacterial infection or like I assumed a yeast infection. That is how I came to my conclusion. IF you really want to know more google it. Do your own research and I'm sure you'll find there are more benefits from Garlic then setbacks. Unless you have an allergic reaction to it of course....

95% of people from African descent are allergic to dairy products. Lactose intolerance is just a nice phrase for "Black people should not consume dairy". Our children are encouraged by schools and welfare programs to eat dairy even though we are allergic to it. A lactose intolerant person that consume dairy will have behavioral problems and physical problems. DAIRY CAUSES ANEMIA! Do not allow your children to eat or drink any dairy products. It is not healthy. Proof: The Massai tribe in Africa drinks a lot of milk, they are the shortest lived African tribe. The average Massai person dies at age 45 years old. If it weren't for drinking blood, they would die before their 30th birthday! Milk is bad for people of African descent. Just say no to dairy!

Do you crave onions, garlic, cabbage or broccoli? You may have a sluggish or overloaded liver. These foods contain high levels of sulfur, which help improve liver function. A sluggish liver cannot work properly to help break down toxins or keep hormones in balance. Toxins can accumulate from either external sources or from poor digestion that results in internal toxicity. You have nutritional deficiencies and too much toxic exposure.

Why does the body crave salt?

"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."
