Earl Mindell, author of ‘Vitamin Bible for the 21st Century’ says, cravings develop because an “overall diet is inadequate”. He maintains if you have been highly stressed and crave peanut butter, you may need more protein and more B vitamins in your diet and if you crave milk, you may need more calcium and amino acids such as tryptophan, leucine or lysine. He says a craving for cheese may indicate a need for calcium and phosphorus, and a craving for bananas means a need for potassium. So why chocolate?
