Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Hi Anna and Belinda, My backlog cleanup continues, and I find this conversation between you. Grains and animal dairy products (particularly milk and cheese from cows) contain opioids. These are substances from the opium family, close cousins of morphine. Human mother's milk also contains a TINY bit of some of the same substances. But when we consume concentrated doses, as we do in breads (and the like), in cow's milk, and particularly in cheese, the effect is biochemically addicting. It is no wonder, then, that many, MANY people find cheese and bread two of the " most difficult " food types to " let go of " . For those interested in learning more about opioids in dairy products, please see my post #24734, in the archive.

(WAS: Deodorant) belinda my arthritis virtually DISAPPEARS when i eat raw. it flames when i eat wheat and some other grains..but particularly wheat. my corn flakes (comfort food for emotional cisis moments..remember im divorcing an alchy) doesnt bother me that way, just gives me sugar overdose headaches...oats are a problem too but not as bad...im allergic to gluten. i got my blood tested for allergies years ago...i have issues with wheat, yeast, milk....how textbook is that? There was something else but i dont remember what it was..mayb coconut...something i rarely eat so i dont recall... so what is that? BREAD...my passion! Which i finally no longer crave....and BREAKFAST CEREALS....my aaaallll time comfort food... they say you crave most what youre allergic to most..because of the rush...just like alcoholics....so i was not the least bit surprised at the results... i suppose you could say i fight breads and cereals with milk like drinkers fight booze...(those that want to ofcourse)...thats my biggest pull. anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Ohhhhh!! That's why I can't seem to stop eating the 3 grain breads and whole wheat breads!!
