what happens when you eat too much ice cubes?

eating ice damages the enamel on your teeth or can break a tooth.  The ice turn into water and doesn't change your body.  There have been some studies suggesting a deficiency of a vitamin or mineral in the body but I think it is mostly habit.

You drink WAAYY too much water!!!\n20 glasses??  Sheesh!\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.\nIf you're thirsty enough to WANT 20 glasses, then you probably have diabetes.\nOtherwise, just stop drinking so much!!

No, it won't make you put on weight. However, I eat ice too and I've been told to stop by my dentist because it's too hard on my teeth. I've also heard if you crave ice it could be a sign that you have low blood iron.

drinking too fast can cause cramps, and drinking too much can actually cause an electrolyte imbalance (because you lose electrolytes when you sweat):\nYes, you can drink too much water in a short period but it is uncommon.\n\nThere is a condition known as "water intoxication" or Hyponatremia.  Hyponatremia results when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes.\n\nSymptoms:\nThey are similar to those of dehydration (apathy, confusion, nausea, and fatigue), although some individuals show no symptoms at all.  If untreated, hyponatremia can lead to coma and even death.\n\nWho usually does this usually affect?\nWater intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in long distance athletes like runners and cyclists.  A baby can get water intoxication as a result of drinking several bottles of water a day or from drinking infant formula that has been diluted too much.  Athletes can also suffer from water intoxication. Athletes sweat heavily, losing both water and electrolytes.  \n\nWater intoxication may not just be a problem among athletes.  Some people when hiking can drink large amounts of water and may not eat enough food to provide for the needed electrolyte (salt, potassium) replacement and energy.\n\nPhysiology:\nWhen too much water enters the body's cells, the tissues swell with the excess fluid.  Your cells maintain a specific concentration gradient, so excess water outside the cells (the serum) draws sodium from within the cells out into the serum in an attempt to re-establish the necessary concentration.  As more water accumulates, the serum sodium concentration drops, a condition known as hyponatremia.  The other way cells try to regain the electrolyte balance is for water outside the cells to rush into the cells via osmosis.  The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from higher to lower concentration is called osmosis.  Although electrolytes are more concentrated inside the cells than outside, the water outside the cells is 'more concentrated' or 'less dilute' since it contains fewer electrolytes.  Both electrolytes and water move across the cell membrane in an effort to balance concentration.  Theoretically, cells could swell to the point of bursting.\n\nFrom the cell's point of view, water intoxication produces the same effects as would result from drowning in fresh water.  Electrolyte imbalance and tissue swelling can cause an irregular heartbeat, allow fluid to enter the lungs, and may cause fluttering eyelids.  Swelling puts pressure on the brain and nerves, which can cause behaviors resembling alcohol intoxication.  Swelling of brain tissues can cause seizures, coma and ultimately death unless water intake is restricted and a hypertonic saline (salt) solution is administered.  If treatment is given before tissue swelling causes too much cellular damage, then a complete recovery can be expected within a few days.\n\nIt's not how much you drink, It's how fast you drink it!\nThe kidneys of a healthy adult can process fifteen liters of water a day! You are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication, even if you drink a lot of water, as long as you drink over time as opposed to intaking an enormous volume at one time.  As a general guideline, most adults need about three quarts of fluid each day.  Much of that water comes from food, so 8-12 eight ounce glasses a day is a common recommended intake.  You will probably need much more water if the weather is hot or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications.  \n\nHow much?\nThe fluid requirement for the majority of endurance athletes, under most conditions, is about 8 to 16 ounces per hour.  There is considerable variation here, of course, due to individual sweating rates, body size and weight, heat and humidity, and running speed, and other factors.  Still, much more than this amount of fluid is, in most instances

If you can swallow them, you can take them.  Be aware that too much iron can lead to constipation, diarrhea, leg cramps, nausea and/or vomiting.

You can not eat something once and add 3 pounds.\nIt takes a couple of days of binge eating

Anythings excessive cause toxic in our system.you need. plenty of water to flush them out.Too much oil cause us to become fat and put a heavy load on the liver,.too much protein put a heavy load on the kidney,too much sugar will lead to diabetes,\ntoo much acidic food is bad for the digestive system,too much meat is bad for the intestine so you need to balance with vegetable and so forth.

Salt. Your body cant process it in large quantities and it will end up poisoning you

Anything that is preserved such as box meals that come with instructions and such as well as freezer meals contain lots of sodium which can wreak havoc on your heart after time.  Too much sugar such as cakes, cookies, breads, desserts, and such lead to Type II diabetes.  How many people do you know eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner out of vending machines, fast food joints, or the freezer section?  These eating habits have contributed greatly to hypertension, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), Type II diabetes, and obesity.

Yes it is possible to drink too much water. But 4 - 5 liters shouldn't be too much. If you drink too much you could get a disease called... daaah i forget let me lookit up. LoL.\n\nOk\n\nCan You Really Drink Too Much Water?\n\nIn a word, yes. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia.

Having too high a salt intake can be detrimental to your health (heart disease, blood pressure and more), as well as dehydrate you. But, if you drink TOO much water (like, A LOT), you can dilute the salts or minerals in your body, which is also detrimental to your health. \nIt's all about staying in balance. Luckily, our bodies usualy know how to do this even when we screw up...

it's frostbite. the water melting off the ice cube is because salt lowers the freezing point and so the water on your skin is very cold <32 so it freezes the skin. kinda like making ice cream except more painfull

In addition to throwing off the body's homeostasis, excess sugar may result in a number of other significant consequences. The following is a listing of some of sugar's metabolic consequences from a variety of medical journals and other scientific publications.\n\nSugar can suppress your immune system and impair your defenses against infectious disease.1,2\n\nSugar upsets the mineral relationships in your body: causes chromium and copper deficiencies and interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium. 3,4,5,6\n\nSugar can cause can cause a rapid rise of adrenaline, hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and crankiness in children.7,8\n\nSugar can produce a significant rise in total cholesterol, triglycerides and bad cholesterol and a decrease in good cholesterol.9,10,11,12\n\nSugar causes a loss of tissue elasticity and function.13\n\nSugar feeds cancer cells and has been connected with the development of cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate, rectum, pancreas, biliary tract, lung, gallbladder and stomach.14,15,16,17,18,19,20\n\nSugar can increase fasting levels of glucose and can cause reactive hypoglycemia.21,22\n\nSugar can weaken eyesight.23\n\nSugar can cause many problems with the gastrointestinal tract including: an acidic digestive tract, indigestion, malabsorption in patients with functional bowel disease, increased risk of Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.24,25,26,27,28\n\nSugar can cause premature aging.29

You can drink too much water, especially if you drink it to fast. Drinking too much water can lead to a condition known as water intoxication and to a related problem resulting from the dilution of sodium in the body, hyponatremia

Uh, the ice melts.\n\nWhen all the ice melts, you'll find that the water level of your beverage has gone down a little.  This is because water expands when frozen, which is the opposite of pretty much everything else.
