Frequently Asked Questions
Vanilla is highly addictive. The active ingredient in vanilla is vanillic acid. Vanillic acid is related to the hormones epinephrine and norepinephrine, both of which stimulate the brain. This chemical relationship explains why vanilla is a potent and addictive stimulant. Although people assume that vanilla is harmless, or even beneficial, companies know otherwise. This is why vanilla is added to ice cream, yogurt, cola, chocolate, pastry, perfume, and even cigarettes.
