Morphine in cheese...
Apparently, since the 1980s there has been trace amounts of morphine in the cheeses that we've been eating. On top of being regulated by Dairy Management to be placed in as much of our food as possible, it's got legitimate addicting properties. When cheese is processed, the levels of the morphine are greater than would be in just plain milk.

As a registered dietitian for National Dairy Council, let me say that this is a ridiculous theory. Some cheeses contain small amounts of casomorphins, which are small fragments of protein. When they are present, these protein pieces are broken down in the digestive tract and used as nutrients – they never make it to the brain to have an “addictive” effect. Both plant and animal foods have compounds with similar activity. Hey, it can be hard enough to eat right without such misinformation adding to people's confusion, especially given the health benefits of nutrient-rich dairy foods like low-fat cheese.
Thank you for clearing that up cause my boyfriend says all our food that we eat has morphine in it. He only lets me eat vegetables & I love my meat. Being from the Midwest, Nebraska, of course I love meat & dairy products. He says even milk has morphine in it. Please tell me if this is true, cause I'm 43 & have had all this in my meals since a child. I would think I would be dead by now if this were true!
