Cheese Addiction: A Costly Battle for a Young Woman

A young woman in the USA developed an addiction to cheese, similar to being hooked on drugs. She had to be sent to rehab at a cost of $6000 per week to overcome her dependency. Initially, she would consume cheese as a snack, but after a couple of years, she was devouring 5-6 blocks of cheese per week. As a result, she gained around 30 kg, lost her menstrual cycle, and faced an increased risk of diabetes. This addiction didn't occur without reason – cheese contains substances resembling narcotics.
