In a major breakthrough for vegan cheese, artificial intelligence helped Climax Foods uncover a plant source of casein—the protein responsible for many functional qualities in dairy.
Casein, a protein found in mammals milk. When it’s broken down in the body it turns into casomorphins, which are capable of passing into your brain and attaching to your morphine receptors. For babies this is a good thing because it can help stimulate a desire to consume milk, but in adults it’s totally unnecessary and creates a desire to consume not out of hunger.
The best comparison would be caffeine additives in drinks, or tiny amounts of cocaine in the original Coca-cola recipe.
I had no idea! But I’ve also never really had any issues overeating so tbh I’m not so worried about eating plant casein when it hits the market.
I low key have a huge fascination for cheese making, it’s almost magic how people are able to make such utterly different things through a process that is roughly similar.

I welcome an ethical survival of the culture.
