For years you've been telling your friends, family, co-workers and anyone who will listen that you're addicted to cheese. It's a part of every meal or snack, and you think about it constantly. According to a new study from the University of Michigan, cheese crack is a real thing. And so is your addiction.
The study, published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine, examines why certain foods are more addictive than others. Researchers identified addictive foods from about 500 students who completed the Yale Food Addiction Scale, designed to measure if someone has a food addiction.
Pizza, unsurprisingly, came out on top of the most addictive food list. Besides being a basic food group for kids, college students and adults, there's a scientific reason we all love pizza, and it has to do with the cheese.
The study found certain foods are addictive because of the way they are processed. The more processed and fatty the food, the more it was associated with addictive eating behaviors.
Cheese happens to be especially addictive because of an ingredient called casein, a protein found in all milk products. During digestion, casein releases opiates called casomorphins...

Wife and I both had two grilled cheese sammiches each for dinner last night. I actually doubled the cheese slices on mine and didn’t tell her (I was cooking.)
Hey, the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right?
Psst! Please don’t add bits of Swiss cheese to scrambled eggs while cooking. The worst thing you could do is cut a slice of Swiss cheese into little squares and place them on top of the scrambled eggs as it is cooking with your other ingredients such as ham bits, onion, jalapeno, etc.. It melts and forms a highly appealing spongy texture that is also tastewise highly ADDICTIVE. The worse is when you fold your omelette over in half to place that highly ADDICTIVE Swiss cheese in the center.
Oh yes! ; )
Just wait until they publish a study that we cheese lovers contribute to global climate change. Methane belching cows destroying the ozone dontchyaknow. Like God made cows with such fart power to destroy the earth..ahahahaa
Pass the cheese and cut it too. Thanks God for the cheese but not for the idiot leftists.

I agree. I know I have a serious pizza addiction. I love how it looks, smells, tastes, I love the sight of the pizza guy at the door. Though,I do hate the way I crash when the box is empty.
LoL, I got it.
And for heavens sake don't get them started on chocolate.
As a youngster I had "youthful" experimentation with cheese, but I NEVER INHALED!
If Boinie Sanders starts promising free cheese I just might have to vote for him. Never had communist cheese before but who can complain when its ‘free’.
It is not and I can quit anytime I want to.
TOTAL BS!!! Amazing what a free “grant” can prove these days. “Our scientists say...yes! You can get your mind back by eating a jellyfish.” This kind of crap is right up there with global warming.
“If you like your cheese, you can keep your cheese,” said Dr. Robert Stadler of the National Scientific Council.
yep!
Cheese is the gateway food....
