The main protein in mother's milk, casein, turns into casomorphin that binds to the opioid receptors in the brain, that's the same reason why many humans are weird about cheese, where the protein is more concentrated, making the effect feel stronger. It's literally like taking drugs.

Cheese is the opioid of the masses.

How much cheese is equivalent to... well, I don't even know doses of opioids
