Eat spicy foods, live longer

Hot peppers also kill your sense of taste over time, like hot coffee and tea, as far as I know.

Debunked.

vasodilators are good for you (someone explain to the forum spellchecker that vasodilators is a real word, plos)

A viagra a day keeps the heart failure away?

With the amount of hot foods I eat, I intend to live forever!

Debunked.

Ok. The brain must respond to spicy food consumption by lessening the response over time then.

Hot liquid consumption is also linked to higher throat cancer rates. Is that also debunked?

Nope. Nicotine and alcohol will though. Tea is good for you, coffee can raise your cholesterol depending on how it's made. I recall friends quitting cigarettes and them raving about being able to really taste again, not just breathe better. You can scorch off taste buds with seriously spicy stuff, but they grow back in 2 or 3 weeks I believe.

I imagine spices play a role in determining what kinds of intestinal flora you have in your gut too. Indian food comes to mind. A hot, wet subcontinent with a heavy population density before there was refrigeration? Make it a vindaloo and live to see another day.

Isn't one of the reasons for wasabi use the poisoning of any parasites?

You just get used to the heat, it doesn't deaden your taste.

The Wegamans near me has sushi made by Japanese, and the wasabi is real wasabi. Fresh made every morning.

They charge more for it? I heard the real thing basically hates to grow, that it's getting more rare.

I don't really eat sushi any more, but I'm always down for some spicy food. Thai, Korean, Indian, Szechuan, bring it on.

I noticed my wording was poor after I posted, but didn't bother fixing it since nobody really said anything. The sushi is made fresh every day, but the wasabi comes packed from Japan in a single serve packet. You get a pack of that, a pack of soy sauce, and a pack of ginger with every tray. I eat the wasabi on the sushi, and the ginger is dessert. I don't use the soy sauce.
