Show Notes
In today's episode of The People's Scientist podcast, I cover the scientific evidence of why some people enjoy spicy food and others do not. In addition, I go into some fascinating cutting edge research on how capsaicin found in spicy food may be a treatment for pain, migraines, depression, anxiety, drug withdrawal, and dementia. The results are surprising!
Follow me on social media to see some of the clinical trials I mention in the episode and for more tidbits of information on the week's topic. I am most active on IG.
