Opioid
In The end of overeating David A. Kessler writes about the concept of opioid. David A. Kessler defines the word opioid as "The opioid circuitry, which is the body's primary pleasure system. The "opioids", also known as endorphins, are chemicals produced in the brain that have rewarding effects similar to drugs such as morphine and heroin. Stimulating the opioid circuitry with food drives us to eat." Opioid's causes us pleasure, happiness, joy, desire and satisfaction. Opioid's helps us relax and calm us down when we are in pain or stressed out. Opioid's is also used in animals. Opioid's is always caused by the food or drug that you use or eat. When you’re eating something sweet or fattening the brain sends signals to the neurons in the brain that activate the opioids when that happens the opioids releases chemicals into your brain and throughout your body that causes pleasue to you.

Good post. You've nailed the idea of opioid that you focused on.
The first two sentences or so could be smoother. Read them out loud and play with them.
I see great improvement in this blog post from the other two. The only thing I would suggest is if you explained what the overall book is about. To someone who has not read the book I am unaware of what the book is about. On the other hand i felt you described a key work in the book very well. I found it interesting to know that eating food can cause drug effects in our body.
