GQ: Cheese as Addictive as Cocaine!

Sarah Von Alt February 15, 2016
Researchers at the University of Michigan have found that
the more fatty or processed a food, the more likely it is to be addictive.
Not surprisingly, foods containing cheese, including pizza,
rank at the top of the list.
“Indeed, the most addictive foods in the study contained
cheese. That’s partly due to its high concentration of casein, a protein that
can ignite your brain’s opioid receptors and produce the familiar craving for
another hit, reports GQ
magazine
Not only is cheese incredibly addictive; countless studies
show dairy in general is detrimental to human health.
Cow’s milk is linked to a 60 percent increased risk of
prostate cancer for every two glasses consumed daily. Additionally, women who
switch from dairy to soy products reduce their risk of breast cancer by a
shocking 43 percent.
In 2014, a study highlighted by The
Telegraph
found a connection between milk and lowered life
expectancy. In fact, people who consumed three glasses of milk or more each day
were twice as likely to die early as those who drank less or no milk.
Sadly, not only are we being misled to believe milk is good
for us, but cows on dairy factory farms are also suffering for it.
MFA investigations at dairy facilities throughout the U.S.
have documented a culture of cruelty and neglect. Cows used in dairy production
are treated as mere milk-producing machines, and their lives are filled with
fear and suffering.
Luckily, we can protect animals and our health by adopting a
compassionate vegan diet.
