Ingestion of food is a physiological process among heterotrophic
organisms to obtain nutrients for survival. The consumption of
soil, clay and chalk by humans is labeled as geophagia. Ancient
resources and modern references deliver valuable information
concerning geophagia and pica in humans. This book takes a
consistent, interdisciplinary approach for reviewing this aberrant
behavior, crafting its etiology, charting its health effects and
identifying the universal traits among the affected population. It
puts forward a brief conceptual framework to achieve universality
in its definition, history, epidemiology and multiple hypotheses
thus help in adopting measures to control this habit. Key Features:
1. Systematic and meticulous flow of information on geophagia. 2.
Guides general practioners, physicians, pediatricians to curb this
practice in their patients. 3. A unique and concise treatise
covering descriptive and research based work over a crucial health
issue of worldwide prevalence.
