Just came across this interesting blurb:
"Zinc supports the pineal gland in the brain, which secretes melatonin, allowing for deeper and more restorative sleep to help insulin work well. Adequate zinc also helps fight sugar cravings."
Zinc also apparently is essential to sense of taste and smell.
Would be interesting if zinc deficiency explained my carb cravings, insomnia, and loss of sense of taste!
