>Dairy actually has hormones called caso-morphines that bind to the same brain receptors as I believe heroine (of course not as potent). So it's addictive in nature

So is the following plant-based foods

Gluten exorphin (from gluten found in cereals wheat, rye, barley) Gliadorphin/gluteomorphin (from gluten found in cereals wheat, rye, barley) Soymorphin-5 (from soybean) Rubiscolin (from spinach)

And what about relative amounts? I would expect it to be more concentrated in cow's milk than in plants. It's usually the dosis that makes the poison so it would be interesting to know the amounts and its effects in humans.

I have a hard time thinking that wheat and barley are that addictive, cheese however I can see it as being quite addictive.

Sorry but You having a hard time thinking that wheat and barley are that addictive is completely irrelevant.

That still says nothing about the relative amounts. Are they comparable to the ones in cheese?

Suggest to a few people that their inability to lose weight could be due to a low-grade gluten intolerance, and I predict you'll start to believe it fairly quickly. I try not to evangelize anyway, but dang people get defensive around their carbs.
