Cheese contains casein a slow-digesting dairy protein.
Casomorphin is derived from the digestion of the milk protein casein.
Research has shown the Casomorphin contains mild opiates and that opioid activity a substance morphine-like that makes it additive.
Eating cheese triggers the same brain receptors as heroin and morphine. They are only mild, but they are just strong enough to keep you coming back for more!
Milk is produced to help babies (calfs) grow and thrive and ensure they continue to eat and survive. As a mother I can remember that “sedated” and “happy” look on my babies face when I was feeding them. That’s the same feelings you get when you eat cheese.
Our brain’s reward us for eating foods by releasing dopamine in order to encourage us to eat more. Dopamine makes our bodies even more attracted to whatever produced that effect. Which is why we crave it so much!
