Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 I don't " miss " cheese that much now that I have convinced myself not to touch it at all. Kind of like sugar, you lose your taste for it. I'd like to share my " cheese " story though. I became chronically ill 3 years ago. I was in so much pain that I found myself for the first time in my life I used food for comfort. At the time I was lacto-ovo veg and found myself eating things like cheese and buttered toast both for comfort and convenience. I am still battling the weight problem that ensued. What I later learned is that dairy products contain casmorphins and gluten products (particularly wheat) contain gluten enorphins. These substances have addictive properties. This is also why I have to limit my wheat consumption (including seitan). Feel free to google the terms.

I think a lot of people (myself included) tend to rely too heavily on cheese when they go vegetarian, and then it's extra hard to give up if one decides to go vegan. Thanks for the recipe!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Diana, I can't find any info on " casmorphins " but I'm really interested in the subject because I think some of my health problems might possibly be related to dairy products. Do you have a link, or know where I can read up on this? Is it possibly spelled differently? Thanks a bunch!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 > I can't find any info on " casmorphins " You left out an " o " - casomorphins. If you can get hold of the book Breaking the Food Seduction by Neal Barnard he explains it all in there.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Here's some links I found through a quick Goggle search: http://www.healthscience.org/Articles/Break_Food_Seduction.htm (scroll down to the " addicted to the food you eat " section. Incidentally it speaks specifically of vegans missing cheese) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casomorphine http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3606198/ Hope these are helpful.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks so much! Yes, they were very informative, and it all seemed to fit into place and make sense in light of my own experience. I went and got " Breaking the Food Seduction " and the " Uncheese Cookbook " from the library, so I'm about to embark on this in a serious way. Thanks again!
