Hi! Mann Library here responding to your question. As we learn in Dr. Young's presentation, pica is still a rather poorly understood phenomenon, and one unintended consequence of eating clay and earth may be anemia. If you'd like to learn more about Dr. Young's work, you can see a summary at her faculty page on the Cornell University website. Thanks for your interest!
Wait I was confused about the ending. Did she say that eating clay and earth causes anemia or people with anemia crave these items?
