Eating is a natural part of our life, but according to some researches, some food may act like a drug and cause physical addiction. Some scientists claim that food is a very powerful drug as it changes our mood impacting on the chemicals in the brain in a similar way to alcohol, nicotine, and cocaine. Addictive foods release opiate-like agents that seduce us to eat them again and again. These substances have been termed exorphines. They are produced while digesting such types of food as the fat, sugar, chocolate, coffee, and tea. It's also believed that exorphines can be released from cheese, meat, and some other food products.
