Ever felt like you couldn’t give up cheese? Ever think it might actually be a drug? The surprising news is that as far back as the 1980′s researchers have known that cheese contains trace amounts of morphine. Seriously.
In 1981, Eli Hazum and his colleagues at Wellcome Research Laboratories reported traces of the chemical morphine, a highly addictive opiate. It turns out that morphine is found in cow milk and human, purportedly to ensure offspring will bond very strongly with their mothers and get all the nutrients they need to grow.
Researchers also discovered the protein casein, which breaks into casomorphins when it is digested and also produces opiate effects. In cheese, casein is concentrated, and so is the level of casomorphins, so the pleasurable effect is greater. Neal Barnard, MD said, “Since cheese is processed to express out all the liquid, it’s an incredibly concentrated source of casomorphins—you might call it dairy crack.” (Source: VegetarianTimes.com)

This explains a lot of failed diets...
OMG your so full of shit!!! There is no morphine in cheese ROFL ROFL ROFL ...... Out of all the idiotic vegan/vegetarian shit I have seen you amaze me even more with your stupidity!!! OMG and the funny thing is these vegan/vegetarian idiots probably believe you!!! ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL Being vegan/vegetarian is bad enough but lieing about every omnivore food is funny..... Dairy is not bad for you as long as its 2% or so whole milk has alot of fat and meat is also good for you it has vitamins and nutirnets your body deserves..... Moderate red meat and Eggs are awesome for you!!! sheesh fucking morons I swear..... And the morals for not eating meat is hilarious.... Who gives a damn if animals are slaughtered for food....Some idiots on the facebok page actually says well people dont know where meat comes from blah blah I know where it comes from a slaughtered tortured animal and i am proud to eat it!!! Proud!!! I have a chest freezer full of meat!!!!

Learn proper grammar you moron. Then perhaps, people will take your argument seriously. Until then, you present nothing more than an idiotic stream of bullshit that people laugh at.
who is the one who is REALLY full of shit? the vegetarian/vegan who presents actual and legit information on a vegan/veg lifestyle (see above wikipedia link, moron) or the angry and obviously insecure asshole who goes trolling on a page dedicated to a lifestyle and diet they obviously disagree with? what does it matter to you if some people dont want to eat animals or animal products? how does it affect your life? it doesn't. go wallow in the cruelty that you promote every day with your horribly unhealthy diet and lifestyle. enjoy your colon cancer, asshole.
also, maybe if your brain wasn't so clogged up with fat from all the dead animals you stuff down your gullet, you would be able to fucking spell and use proper grammar.

You would be hard pressed to refute the claims in this video with *facts* instead of personal opinion and pride.

Um, folks? Ever heard that one about "don't feed the trolls?"
Besides, if one lousy (and lazy) troll is all it takes for you to turn into the genuine article of the "self-righteous angry vegan" stereotype--wishing colon cancer death sentences on someone, really?--good luck with that moral high ground.
As for the article, this is pretty fascinating. I question the "drug effects" explanation, though--the stuff still has to be digested (proteins, in stomach), and absorbed (intestines), first, to get to the brain. Not much like shooting up a vein at all, no? That's leaves a big time lag to explain the direct aesthetic pleasure of eating the stuff.
Compare that to, say, Fugu (WP it), which has a similar drug effects story--but the connection is immediate, in the mouth.
i apologize. i know not to feed the trolls, but alas, i am human and at times governed by my emotions, and trolls of the variety that come onto veg websites just to stir up shit annoy me to no end. i'm not angry, though perhaps my wording was a bit strong. and i never wished colon cancer on anyone, i just suggested that the aforementioned troll "enjoy" it.
WOW! Or, better. Full-on not-so wow. The comments here are as bullshit-based angry as on YouTube. Just another reason to read the post and never scroll down to the you-guys-are-so-full-of shit comments.
I have to ask. Do any of you EVER enjoy anything? Give it a try. Let yourself actually be able to answer the question, "What do you want?"
And, before you do not answer . . . let the DUHs flow.
This is a bullshit blog and I am not concerned with grammer. Yes this article is full of crap and my arteries aren't clogged nor am I getting colon cancer. I dont have any problems. Get checked regularly and am healthy as a horse and happy. But meat is here for us to eat. We are the superior beings and they are well our bitches. They are either food or pets nothing more. There is no drug in cheese and meat is not unhealthy. My wife is a nutritionalist and has taken many classes on this in college. If you don't want to eat meat then fine but quit lying about meat eating diets just because you disagree about eating animals. Let people eat what they want. You guys are behind in times too since Global Warming has been proven not real by scientists after Al Gore's little movie. The climate change we are having is natural not man-made and it wouldn't matter if we didnt own cars and were all vegetarian it will still get hot as hell. So I am going to eat what I want which is a normal diet and you eat your vegetarian diet. But trying to change people or shove videos down non-vegetarians throats is BS and will piss people off. We know where meat comes from. I have known since I was a little kid. Colan cancer can come from anything that makes you constipated and clogged. I am never constipated never have been. Clogged arteries are from eating way too much red meat. I mainly eat lean chicken,fish,turkey, and moderate red meat and don't eat pork the sodium content is outragious in that but I eat turkey sausage and turkey bacon to make up for it. I admit some of the veggie dishes look ok but still I would probably add some chicken to it or something.
Take care
Uhm... They never disproved global warming just what causes it. It still exists. Just keep on digging that hole deeper.
Take care.
There never was global warming it is proven so nothing caused it since it isn't real.
How about you take your own advice and "Let people eat what they want." You are on a vegetarian website. This website will obviously contain vegetarian literature and opinions. No one is forcing you to look here. No one is shoving anything down your throat. This website is for vegetarians and vegans. YOU are the one coming here, to a place you don't agree with, trying to shove YOUR lifestyle down OUR throats. Let us eat what we want. Let us talk about nutrition and food the way WE want to. How is it affecting you? It's not. Your comments are completely unnecessary. You will not change a vegetarian's mind with your talk of dominance and ignorant, backward comments about global warming.
Coming on here and saying things like "humans are superior to animals and they are our bitches"(paraphrasing) is just trying to stir up shit. If you don't like the way we live, fine, go live your life and leave us alone. Go troll elsewhere.
And to the person who asked if we ever enjoy anything? I personally do. I enjoy the love I give to and receive from all living creatures. I enjoy the feeling I get when my rescued cat comes and sits on my lap, whereas she previously trusted no human enough to do that. I enjoy painting. I enjoy filling my body with the bounty of the earth aka clean, organic fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes. Just because a person's diet is "restricted" doesn't mean they don't enjoy ANYTHING.
Honestly I don't understand why people are getting so angry. The article isn't trying to preach veganism/vegetarianism.... Good grief. And I believe that human mothers carry a similar type of "drug" in breast milk for the same reasons other animals do. Its not surprising to read this, and not entirely hard to believe. The article imho doesn't really deserve the nasty comments peeps are leaving. Ignorance must be bliss I guess.
it's true. i saw it on "who wants to be a millionaire"! morphine is found in cow's milk. 100% legit fact.
LOL never ceases to amaze me that a meat eater needs to get on a vegetarian site to post their crap and they may be a troll but still cant help but comment on their low IQ and their filthy mouthed post ... get a life you loser !
I refuse to read any of the angry responses to this article, but I would like to say that I am a long time vegetarian/vegan. I am very skeptical that cheese contains morphine. Show me some scientific evidence about this, and I will then take this article seriously.
I have read a number of articles from this site that are not sourced to any author, and therefore often lack credibility.
Please support your claims with credible evidence.
Thank you.
