What Causes A Craving For Orange Juice?

Well, hello! I am curious about my husband s sometimes powerful cravings for orange juice, of all things! I ve heard of cravings for salt, sugar, etc, but never OJ! Should I be concerned? Thanks! Sorry, I didnt realize this wasn t free, I thought it was a free Chat line. Our doctor s co-pay is only $20, so,....but thanks anyway!

Hi
Welcome to health care magic.
This portal is caters paid as well as free users.
You have opted for free option so you will get the answer for free of course.
I think it has taken pretty long time by this route.
Now about your question, craving for orange juice is a bit personal choice and there is hardly any reason why one should be having a craving for orange juice and for that reason any juice will serve that purpose of hydration and the purpose of salt repletion.
It may be just a matter of choice e.g. someone like mango very much, the other one may like apple similar way.
In any case craving for orange juice is a simple matter of choice and hardly a medical issue.
I hope the advise will be helpful for you.
