This is a snippet from Eades & Eades "Protein Power Lifeplan": "...there exists a considerable amount of research establishing the fact that cereal grains, especially wheat, maize and barley and, to a slight extent, dairy products contain opioid substances called exorphins. Opioid substances are those that have an opium-like effect, stimulate the opioid receptors in the brain, and are to varying degrees addictive." Maize, of course, is corn. I couldn't agree more with the above. I can eat, say, a Hershey's kiss and while it feels maaaaahvelous, I can stop at one. Wheat? It's almost impossible to stop! I guess this is why.
