Dairy actually has hormones called caso-morphines that bind to the same brain receptors as I believe heroine (of course not as potent). So it's addictive in nature, this addition is probably meant to keep the calf close to the mother and away from harm. But the addiction can be easily broken and after a while you start finding cheese actually a bit gross because its essentially solid melting fat. As far as I know for people looking to eat in a less environmentally impactful way, eating only pork, chicken and eggs and removing the dairy and beef is great already.

  Yes, you're right its fat and protein, I meant to say that it looks like melting fat.

So it's addictive in nature So is the following plant-based foods Gluten exorphin (from gluten found in cereals wheat, rye, barley) Gliadorphin/gluteomorphin (from gluten found in cereals wheat, rye, barley) Soymorphin-5 (from soybean) Rubiscolin (from spinach) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_peptide#Opioid_food_peptides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opioid_peptide#Opioid_food_pep...

  And what about relative amounts? I would expect it to be more concentrated in cow's milk than in plants. It's usually the dosis that makes the poison so it would be interesting to know the amounts and its effects in humans. I have a hard time thinking that wheat and barley are that addictive, cheese however I can see it as being quite addictive.

      That still says nothing about the relative amounts. Are they comparable to the ones in cheese?

    >I have a hard time thinking that wheat and barley are that addictive Suggest to a few people that their inability to lose weight could be due to a low-grade gluten intolerance, and I predict you'll start to believe it fairly quickly. I try not to evangelize anyway, but dang people get defensive around their carbs.
