Pizza and Opiates

Do you like pizza?  Of course, you do.  I do too. But did you know cheese contains casomorphins, which have an opioid-like effect? Indeed,  concentrated dairy products, like cheese, have especially high levels of opiates, even morphine.* The argument is you get hooked on cheese because of these opioid-like chemicals.  Naturally, this means most humans over all of time were addicted in this way.   Strange but so claimed.  The next thing we will see is a push to eliminate pizza. California will be first. "Keep the aliens; deport the pizza."  Let's have pizza tonight - double the cheese, please. :) I can see it now, the Mexican drug cartels opening pizza parlors offering "special pizza" delivered, though delivery may take a month or two.  *Just Google "cheese and opioids"
