Doctor says cheese is addictive like “crack”

KFI:

A new book called The Cheese Trap might make you want skip dairy altogether.

Dr. Neal Barnard, the book’s author and founder of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says cheese is fattening and addictive too.

He says it’s addictive because the dairy proteins inside can act as mild opiates.  The fragments of protein attach to the same brain receptors as heroin and other narcotics, and each bite of cheese gives you a small hit of dopamine.

Barnard calls it “dairy crack:”

“Cheese is not just tasty. It actually contains concentrated opiates, along with salt and grease, that tend to keep us hooked.”

  10. Several decades ago school districts were adopting elementary and 7th & 8th grade “science” textbooks that had aweful chapters on drug abuse.

    One of the things that helped me decide to join with a demonstration march through a town, was the equating, in the text, of chocolate addiction to cocaine addiction. The text also had great photos showing the sniffing of such via a rolled up dollar bill, mainlining into a vein in the arm, among other things. The chapter was mainly a how-to.

  11. I prowl the streets & back alleys at night … looking for the cheese ‘dealer’ …. I’ve lost family members, good friends, lovers, jobs over my addiction … I hang around with the rest of the cheese addicts under the bridge, trying to find my latest ‘fix’ I’VE GOT CHEESE TRACKS ON MY ARMS! GOD, HELP ME!!!!!

    … whadda load of Gouda

  13. I grew up on a beef farm (about 30 head) in Wisconsin. My father was a large-animal veterinarian, most of whose clients were dairy farmers. When they started talking about dietary cholesterol as a cause of heart disease (disregarding heredity), I viewed it as an attack on the beef and dairy industries. For one thing, cholesterol, or, rather, the steroid core of the cholesterol molecule, is the raw material from which the body builds cell walls.

  15. We use milk protein derivatives as a mild sedative in veterinary medicine. Works well in cats for behavioral issues but there is not enough in plain dairy to have much of an effect.

  16. No coffee, no cheese, no wine, no red meat, no pork fat, no butter, no gluten, no sugar, no shellfish, no carbonation, no grilled food…

    I am beginning to believe “people” like Dr. Neal Barnard subsist entirely on spirulina and munching Dr Oz’z butt nuggets.

  21. Oh please. People have been eating cheese for a long, long time. A great way to preserve milk. All these so called experts just need to look at the history of eating to understand how humans survived by learning how to keep a dependable food supply. I raised my kids on good cheddar. By the way, there is a healthy omega 7 fat in cheese which is not found in many other foods. So there!

  25. Cheese? I must not have an addictive personality. It’s good, but it needs crackers sometimes and maybe it’s because I’m not a big fan of crackers. (Is that racist?)

  29. Yes Sir, I have a can of cheese whiz in my fridge,
    twenty cheese sticks, blocks of cheddar, shredded
    mozza, and other various remnants of cheese.
    But I didn’t touch the cream cheese!!!!
