Yes, being serious. You... may want to google "dopamine induced addiction".

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

But to quote https://diamondrehabthailand.com/what-is-dopamine-addiction/#4_Food-related_disorders

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)!

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:
