i am addicted to mint. mint shampoo, mint shower gel, mint soap, mint lotion, mint lip balm, mint everything. every single day of my life i have to have mint, otherwise i’d feel so sick. i have no idea why. but yes, i’m also anemic. i have always been. this is the first time i’ve heard about a connection between mint and anemia. maybe i need to do more research. 80 percent of my web research and people whom i've talked to who have mint addiction as well have one thing in common which is being anemic. weird huh. not that i want to let go of my love for mints(yes, it is pure love for me), but it would be interesting to know if it actually affects the body physically.
