  Wait, FR? I have an…enthusiasm for chocolate milk. I drink far too much and it basically replaces meals. I actually had to stop buying milk because once I do, I can go through that gallon in a day. If I can get myself to stop, I’m good. But if it’s an option it takes priority over all others for consumables in the household

    Yes, being serious. You… may want to google “dopamine induced addiction”.

    And perhaps read this www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8638539/

    But to quote diamondrehabthailand.com/what-is-dopamine-addicti…

    Certain foods, particularly those high in sugar, fat, and salt, trigger the release of dopamine in the brain’s reward centers, leading to feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. This dopamine-induced pleasure drives individuals to compulsively overeat, perpetuating the cycle of food addiction.

      This is interesting because I do not over eat, and I do not like most sweets. It becomes overbearing rapidly. Chocolate milk though must hit that balance for me perfectly. It also would explain why it’s such a comfort food for me.

      I’ll make sure to read up on those, thank you for the source(s)!
