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.
While I’m all for replicating the flavors of non-plant based foods, adding an addictive substance to a non-addictive food is problematic. If corporations are allowed to do this with vegan cheese, I’m sure it won’t stop there.
I get your point, but casomorphins are capable of passing the blood-brain barrier and attaching to morphine receptors, like all other opiates. Glucose is not the same.

Yeah, hopefully the plant-based version won’t be addictive.
Sorry what addictive substance are you referring to?
Next thing you know they’ll be allowing high fructose corn syrup and caffeine as food additives
