Ever have that moment at a football party when the cheese and sausage platter gets placed on the dining room table, exciting you to the point of jumping over the coffee table, juking and jutting your way to the dining room only to give the Heisman to the woman reaching for the platter so you can celebrate your victory run with five hunks of sharp cheddar. What? Just me?! Well it turns out that the esteemed researchers at the University of Michigan also found strange behavior in other cheese lovers to be problematic, prompting a study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine concerning the addictive effects of certain foods. The findings: Certain foods are more addictive than others because of the way they are processed. The study concludes the more processed the food is, the more addictive it is to eat. According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, cheese is one of the most highly addictive foods because of casein, a protein found in all milk products. During the digestion process, casein releases opiates called casomorphins, which play with the dopamine receptors that trigger addictive behaviors. So the next time you find yourself irrationally gnawing on a chunk of cheese while hiding behind the refrigerator door, remind yourself that the first step to solving the problem is recognizing there is a problem.
