Food Cravings: An UnderstandingThese cravings can naturally come from the body's effort to obtain nutrients we are deficient in. The unprocessed foods you eat have each more than one nutrient.

This is because they do not act alone. So if you take in high amounts of B without C, you could get sore teeth. A sign of C deficiency. The mineral content of the soil the food is grown in has a lot to do with the end nutrient value of the food. Food grown in deficient soil is lower in its own nutrients.
