Are you addicted to cheeeeessssse?

It seems a Dr. Neal Barnard has found a link between cheese and morphine in that apparently cheese contains a small amount of morphine from the cows liver.
This is meant "according to Barnard" to help with the mother calf bonding, so who here gets the cravings for the stuff?
I wonder if thats why mice like it so much??

mmmm, fondue! Feta! Cream cheese! Pepperjack! Ricotta! CHEESE! YES! MORPHINE! EVEN BETTER!

does cheesy puffs count?

I am addicted to them, can never eat just a few, gotta finish those whole darn bag, then lick my fingers clean...mmmmm

so what are the side effects or benefits of this addiction other than gaining weight???

Reminds me of the Monty Python "Cheese shop" sketch!!

And, I *do* like cheese, as it happens...

Cheesy puffs Well theres probably tons of nasty stuff in them as its all premade food. As for the cheese part, well I can't see a major problems, I used to work in the dairy industry and if your lucky enough to get it before pasturisation and such, then your recieve a good bout of some healthy bacteria. Good for the immune system.

hmmmm...interesting...maybe if I read your post a few more times...my mind will realize that "cheesy puffs are evil" and then maybe my diet will work...thanks for the enlightment....actually I know processed food isn't too good...but its the processed stuff that tastes so darn good

I have heard that mice are not obsessed with cheese after all, for example, they prefer chocolate to cheese. But they eat anything when hungry, buy it seems they prefer fatty foods with some dairy content.

OH! YEAH! I forgot! Fried cheese! Love fried cheese! Yum! Does the frying take the drugs out?

I just knew Steve Urkel was onto something!!!!!

The power of cheese is now empirically proven .. Finaly! I knew it would be proven someday. I also happen to think that pork rinds have got to be the most disgusting"treat" ever made by humankind.

You need something to cut that cheese?

Here is a article I submitted for news but didnt make it.

Cheese cutter

Out,
Russian

Man, I had a block of cheese last night and today (finished it up), and dang, I sure am feeling loopy!

Behold....the power of CHEESE....

Kinda gives it a whole no meaning, huh?

Behold the power of CHEESE!

Well if there is morphine in cheese..im just gonna start shooting it up for faster relief of the "cravings"..

I've been studying autism, and there is a theory about being addicted and having withdrawls to cheese/dairy and wheat...maybe they're hyper-sensitive to the morphine.

this thread is kind of cheesy

I agree with Panchovilla--I die for sushi and cheese!
I love Ricotta cheese. I'm Polish so we make pierogis,
which I fill with egg and dry large curd cottage cheese,
fry in butter. Talk about addicting!
