Cheese is just pure milk fat, and milk in itself is very addicting. It has casomorphins in it, which essentially trigger a dopamine release in your brain. When we're babies and we're being held by our moms and we're getting breastfed, you have that trigger in your brain that says, “I'm safe; I'm happy.” We talk about babies being “milk drunk,” because they get high off milk because of the casomorphins. And so that's why people feel this emotional attachment to cheese, specifically, because it's concentrated milk fat, and it’s triggering your brain’s reward system. -Chef Bai
