I'll see if I can dig stuff up. And by opiate-like....I don't mean its anywhere near the level of an actual opiate...but it's called a casomorphin.Do you have references to those studies? I mean I like cheese, but "opiate-like"? I am skeptical. I have seen the same claim made about wheat (see the book Wheat Belly). I'm skeptical of that too.
Heres a link to get you started and Ill come back with more later, actual studies if I remember correctly and can dig them up

But I always swore, before I knew about this so its not placebo, that cheese really gave me a sort of mild buzz when I would eat a lot of it. Maybe I'm just bipolar and sought out cheese during my high periods and mistakenly drew the uncausal correlation
Its also possible that I am completely wrong. But its also possible that I'm only a little wrong.
