When talking about peppers, the “No Spicy†family is appetizing. Pepper means to enjoy "the perfect combination of pain and quickness". In some festival celebrations in the United States and Mexico, a pepper contest was held that made the audience feel hot and fiery. A chili expert compared the game to a “carnival fire showâ€.
Why are the peppers addictive? Some experts believe that this is because peppers have the effect of lowering blood pressure, antibacterial activity, and even analgesia. In short: Because it has many advantages, we love it. However, according to reports in the US “The New York Timesâ€, some experts believe that humans love to eat chili peppers in order to seek pain, and this “enjoy negative activity†complex mentality reflects the highly developed human self-consciousness.
Eating chili is to seek pain
Late summer is the harvest period of the peppers, and then the soothing and painful exotic fruits on this solanaceous capsicum plant will engulf people's taste buds. They can be made into salads, can be made into chilli sauces, and sometimes even processed into peppers for the Grizzlies.
Why are peppers so addictive? Some experts believe that we can't put it down because it benefits us. Pepper helps lower blood pressure, has antibacterial properties, and can also promote saliva secretion to aid digestion. Chili peppers make it easy to eat boring foods. Recent research has also confirmed that peppers that cause people to feel happy and "painful" have analgesic effect.
According to Dr. Paul Rozen, an expert on the “spicy feeling†of the University of Pennsylvania, “chili beneficial human†cannot explain people’s love of chili foods. There are no inevitable links between the benefits of eating chili and people’s love for chili. . Luo Jin's main research direction is human preferences and dislikes and other feelings. He claims to be "the originator of anti-psychology". He believes that the reason humans love to eat chili is very simple - in order to seek pain.
Rozin said he has sufficient evidence to support his "good self-battery." For example, in an experiment, he asked a group of participants to eat hot pepper, and the spicy taste gradually increased from mild, medium to spicy, until the participants could not stand it. After the end of the experiment, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all the participants and it was found that the most favorite of the participants was the most pungent pepper they could afford. This is what the American singer, Delbert McClinton, sang in the song: "He is as good as a knife."
The "caused pain" of chili is purely accidental
Spicy foods are also graded, and the pungency test is the Scowell Spicy Index (SHU), named after the founder American chemist Wilbur Scowell. The bell pepper's spicyness index is 0 units, the hottest Indian pepper is 1 million units, and the yellow Havana pepper's is between 100,000 and 350,000. In contrast, Mexican peppers have a pungency ranging from 5,000 to 50,000. Although the bear sprayer contained only 2% of capsaicin, the ad claimed that it had a pungency of 3.3 million units. The pungency of pure capsaicin, which can cause severe pain, is astonishingly high, reaching 16 million units.
Peppers have long been an indispensable element of cooking in major pepper growing regions such as Central America, Asia and the Indian Peninsula. What people love is the taste of capsaicin. In fact, the mechanism by which chilies produce a spicy taste is simple. A recent study showed that capsaicin is a self-protective tool for peppers that can resist the infection of pepper seeds by fungi. A number of experimental studies have shown that the same wild pepper plant will produce many capsaicin species if it is grown in an environment where the fungus is easy to grow, and it will produce less capsaicin when it is in arid areas that are not susceptible to fungal threats.
Capsaicin seems to have caused pain in mammals. "Capsicum can prevent the mammal from eating the peppers after the peppers have matured and fall from the plants." This view seems to hold ground in evolution. In the same way, birds will eat chili, but birds lack the biochemical pathway to experience “paprikaâ€, so capsaicin has no effect on birds. In mammals, capsaicin stimulates pain receptors that are normally used to sense thermal stimuli. Strictly speaking, pepper irritability is not a taste but a burning sensation. The mechanism is like someone putting a fire on your tongue.
However, humans quickly liked the feeling that "the tongue is burning". There is evidence that as early as 6,000 years ago, humans from the Bahamas to the Andes had begun to eat “domesticated peppersâ€. Later, Columbus spread peppers from the Americas to Europe, Asia, and Africa. By the middle of the 16th century, peppers had been widely known in Europe, Africa, India and China.
Eating chilies embodies complex self-awareness
Although no one has yet been able to confirm the specific mechanism by which humans obtain pleasure from the pain of eating chili peppers, Rozin believes that the pleasure of eating chili peppers is a kind of excitement that is very similar to the happiness that a roller coaster brings to people. Luo Zin said: “Humans, and only humans, will enjoy activities that are “negatively negative.†These activities will make people instinctively avoid them, but we gradually realize that these activities are virtually non-threatening. Beyond physicality, our body thinks we are in a predicament, but in ideology, we know that the situation is not so sinister."
"In addition to humans, we can no longer find animals that like pepper," said Luo Zin. This coincides with the view of Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale University in the United States. He said: “Philosophers often define the basic characteristics of humanity—language, reason, culture, etc. It seems to me that only one point is enough: humans are the only ones who love Tabasco spicy sauce (a very spicy The chili sauce) animals." However, Bloom believes that human love of chili is purely an "unexpected event."
Chili may not have deep meanings or evolutionary value. Love is a favorite. However, the search for pleasure from the unpleasant activity of eating chili peppers must be based on a complex and bizarre self-awareness. So far, only humans have enjoyed this pleasure.
