 "<b>Snippets:</b> Spicy food and aggression")
A paper published by scholars from the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and the University of Texas at Austin in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology claims that there may be a strong correlation between consumption of spicy food and aggression.
Based on an experiment conducted with 237 students, who were tested for levels of aggression and their reaction before and after eating tortilla chips, with or without chilli sauce, the findings reveal a striking change of behaviour in the participants.
Spicy food is supposed to enhance levels of testosterone in male bodies and apparently cuts down chances of heart disease and stroke by at least 13 per cent. The latest research signals an increase in risk-taking behaviour and heated debates among people who eat spicy food.
