Obsessed with Cheese? Why Dairy can be Habit-Forming (Casomorphins)

A recent discussion highlights the addictive nature of cheese and dairy products, focusing on a substance called casomorphins found in milk. Dr. Barry explains that casomorphins are opioid-like peptides intentionally present in dairy to encourage offspring to consume milk for growth and development. However, for adults trying to manage their weight and health, this substance can lead to cravings and overeating.

Dr. Barry provides a ranked list of dairy products based on their casomorphin content, suggesting that ghee and butter have the least, while ultra-processed cheeses contain the most. He emphasizes the importance of being aware of these addictive properties, particularly for those following low-carb diets, as excessive consumption of high-casomorphin dairy can hinder weight loss efforts and overall health improvements.

Real, full-fat cheese & other dairy has great macros and is a good source of vitamins/minerals. But, it carries an addictive molecule that causes many people to over-eat their satiety hormones. This molecule is know as Casomorphins and is put in the milk to addict her baby to milk, thus ensuring drinking enough to grow and gain weight as fast as possible. This same molecule causes many people to crave cheese/yogurt/milk and causes them to eat too much food. Some research shows that Raw Milk causes less craving from the casomorphins... Keep in mind, this affects some more than others (normal distribution curve), but for some folks (including me) cheese is a problem.
