Pardon my lame humor. Folks, vanilla is my favorite flavor of...well, everything! Yogurt, ice cream, snacks, you name it. If it says vanilla, I'll eat it.But according to an article in Organic MD , vanilla is addicting! Vanillic acid is related to the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, which are better known as adrenaline and noradrenaline. Too much of these can definitely be a bad thing, and can make addicting products even worse, such as tobacco products.But does that mean you should avoid vanilla products at all costs? I certainly don't think so. Maybe too much can be a bad thing, but I think that "responsible vanilla use" could be key. Or maybe it's not harmful at all! I think the main thing to take away from this is to know that vanilla isn't harmful and won't kill you, but just be aware that it could be addicting. What do you think?
