  • James Bond says:

    I eat spicy food every day and I can attest to the endorphins. It’s actually exciting followed by a calming effect. I personally believe it is like cold water immersion or a trip to the sauna- it’s an acute stress that calms you after.

  • My Sabbatical Year says:

    Thank you for this info Dr Greger! About 15 years ago I couldn’t even handle 1-star spiciness, but since then have developed liking for the stuff. Had no idea or intention, just had a partner who cooked this way. Never thought he wanted it for my benefit, quite the opposit, kept accusing him of wanting to kill me 🤣

  • RelaxGood says:

    I have had to highly cut back on spicy foods since I started having problems with them since finding out I have a hiatal hernia.

  • Jason P says:

    @9:09 actually, it is pepper X 👍🏼

  • Meredith White says:

    I have always loved spicy food. I got more into it because hot sauce was something I could add to food that added flavor without adding many calories. I love trying new hot sauces or cooking with different kinds of peppers.

    Btw Pepper X was recently named the hottest pepper by Guinness World Records. It is about 2.7 million SHU 🥵

  • Marga Paris says:

    Sounds for me more like selfdefence.😂

  • Spicy says:

    This has been a suspicion of mine for several years if not a couple of decades. Being from India, I can’t help but love spice and heat.

  • Joe Dirt says:

    On January 6, 2021 at the US Capitol it was not just police using pepper spray the rioters also deployed it on the police.
