It also contains Phytoestrogens. Enjoying your lactating manboobs yet?

Plant based estrogens may bind to androgen receptors in the hypothalamus, and thus blocking stronger human estrogens from binding instead. This could offset an overproduction imbalance in females.

Addiction.... That words thrown around alot by people who have no will power. Addicted to fennel seeds fucking cry me a river..... Try having an opiate addiction then you might know about battling an "addiction" Until then get over the fact your just a moron with lack of will power.

I am addicted to fennel seeds.

People like you should just keep opinions to yourselves. Let's see if you have the 'willpower' not to retaliate

yeah, I know this is old.
still I read over it after stumbling on it by accident through google.
Just so happens I grow fennel in my garden and know a bit about it.
Let me point the one thing out that makes this real instead of just food jokes.

The ripe seeds are the source of the psychotropic oil.
psychotropic oil, is related and similar to Marijuana.
Not addictive physically, but mentally.
I can not imagine eating enough of the seeds to get anything from it, too much work when you could just smoke a fat joint instead.

OMGGGGG.. i thought i was the only one out theree!! i eat them all the time too.. reading what u wrote, felt as if i was reading something i had written about myself! i so the exact same thing, always chewing on it.. i find it soo addictive!! any meal feels incomplete without having it after!! any clue as to why its this addictive?? some substance fennel seeds have in them?? or mayb its the texture of the food we like??

i also have this addiction. i started chewing them after meals to help calm sugar cravings (i am pre diabetic). it really helps, and i figured it was a healthy option, far healthier than half a pint of hagen daz. but lately ive noticed that once i start chewing i cant stop. there is definately something very addicting going on with fennel seeds. reading now that fennel seeds may actually be bad for my health is quite alarming. O_o

and to the angry poster.. there is nothing wrong with wanting to be in good health. you dont have to be face down in a gutter to simply ask for help about something that concerns you. people who are addicted to food can die from that addiction.. just like people can die from a drug overdose. in fact... more people die from diet related dis-ease than anything else. i turned to an alternative.. in this case fennel seeds, to help reverse my own diet related illness. now i find the fennel seeds themselves have become an issue. there is no harm in sharing with others about this particular experience. now that i know, i will make the effort to stop. so i thank the original poster for being open about their experience. it has certainly helped me!

i would also like to add that the front of my tongue and the inner part of my bottom lip are sort of burnt and numb from so much chewing. makes me think of beetle nut or chewing tobacco or yea even opiates. i guess all these things come from plants anyway right so how different are fennel seeds!

it's amazing how expertly this thread headed down punish-the-crack-whore territory

beware!

soon all things that you a) like or b) are in fact good for you MIGHT GET BANNED

remember, you're living in a corporate world, and if it doesn't make a PROFIT for THEM then you're not to have it.

you're a foolish consumer (yeah, I know it's how you've been brung up and you can't help being so dumb ... but)

I'm addicted to fennel too, and I just got diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder. here's my thread Thread: I just got diagnosed with Gender ID Disorder Ask Away (Page 3)

I addicted to fennel seeds too. I prefer fried fennel seeds that turn golden in colour and mmmmmh it has wonderful smell and colour. I like both the fried and fries ones.

But Im really concerned about my health...Does it lead to any severe oral problem???

Does it cause dark circls under ur eyes?

I also love toasted fenel seeds...and I dont know whether it is harmful to ur health or not..but it has some beneficial properties for sure..

Mother Nature ? Good luck with that ...

I too got addicted too - I chew most of the time - it didn't balance my imbalanced hormones, [in fact something has been making my hormones worse, and all so-called balancers imbalance me], nor did they oversize my already oversized boobs, perhaps slight sensitivity in teeth just like with numb tongue at times- I know I have to cleanse my liver to balance everything else, and I will do it through master herbalism, but now that you guys confirm the reality of it being an addiction I'll be going COLD TURKEY! Anyone for my last three boxes of superior sonnentor fennel seeds? seeds?

what the hell is this like condiment group therapy? let me try... 'Hi, im bill, and im a fennelholic'..... LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! crazy people. smoke a fkin dooby.

At last i found someone. I ve been having this addcition since i was 13 and now i m 22. I could choose it forever. i try to reduce it but wen i buy a packet i chew so much that i end up wearing out the outer skin of my tongue. makes my life horrible for a few days until it grows back.
but i ve been able to control it for around 8 weeks at a stretch. it is not easy though

I thought I was the only one addicted to fennel seeds. I would chew on them night and day. The day I knew I was in trouble was the day that I opened a box in the supermarket, took a handful, started chewing on them and put the rest of the box on the shelf where I found it. I actually stole them. I knew I had to go 'cold turkey' to stop. I did but I was not happy for about one week. Now I have no desire to chew on them and it's been 2 years.

surprised to read all this .. while still chewing fennel. i did a search and landed myself here. its somewhat soothing to know other r finding difficult to quite.. i will try n control myself from buying next time.

Has no one seriously found any information online telling about the possible narcotic effects of fennel?

Check the "Precautions".

Hormone imbalance!? HA!!!

I'll take your last three boxes and a picture of your oversized boobs!

Is it fennel seeds with sugar included OP?? Switch to plain fennel seeds.

hey i am suffering from the same problem.. i really like the roasted ones. i keep eating them like candy replacement all through the day

seriously am worried about the amount i can consume. in a day

Even i was addicted to fennel seeds for two years......
Then i did hooponopono and got rid of it.
