    Thought so. It triggers dopamine, which is now recognized as an anticipation response. Merely thinking about pizza can give us a lovely dopamine rush.

    Or, in other words, happy thoughts make you happy?

    I believe I said something in my addiction thread about rats having a similar response to both fat and sugar. What interests me about the posts I've seen here -- and will interest me in the future -- is the amount of credulity the community here and the blogosphere meets this study with.

    I'm thinking of the blind acceptance in some quarters of the absolute "addictive" nature of sugar, but say it's cheese? Well, then we apply critical thinking. (Not saying this is necessarily true of the posters already on this thread so far, I'm just... waiting for it.)

    In other news, I thought pizza scoring highest on the YFAS was old news.

    Well...cheese does contain lactose...so SUGAR IS DA DEBIL!!!

    Velveeta is such a gateway cheese. First thing you know, kids are experimenting with a little V, then the next thing you know, they're in a dark alley looking for their next hit of Brie, Camembert, or, God forbid, Roquefort.

    OMG, they have got to stop using the word "addiction" so flippantly. Yes, technically anything that causes a boost in endorphin levels can become addictive. But for real? Every time they post one of these things all I can think is 'how disrespectful this is to ACTUAL addicts of cocaine, or heroin, or alcohol, or any of the many actually dangerous and godawful addictive substances that can destroy your life". As an ex smoker, I'm calling BS.

    The pizza thing is old news, as is people -- as well as rats -- having a similar brain response to sugar and fat.

    If it really was casein, wouldn't we all be mainlining casein protein powder?

    I've never tried it. Maybe I'll go to the hard stuff once my cheese usage goes beyond the recreational.
