Eating Chili Peppers so that Capsaicin releases Endorphins?

[Guest ncm2169]

I've been on a search for natural endorphins for years. Ironically, I got curious earlier this year when I read that Hillary Clinton told a supporter that she survived her hectic schedule by eating hot peppers.

 

There's tons of literature online, but I'm wondering - does anyone have anything to add to the endorsement of chili peppers for the release of endorphins?

 

If so, how hot do you recommend? :9

 

Also, any suggestions to reduce the "after-heat" in the mouth? Does milk really work?

 

P.S. Oops, probably not a good subject since the recent determination that the formerly-tomato salmonella scare was determined to be from Mexican peppers.

 

Memo to self: Avoid Mexican Produce. }(

 

Second Memo to self: NEVER believe the FDA. x(

Being the half beaner that I am I do love my food spicy and peppers are always a nice touch. Now as far as calming down the burn in the mouth yes milk does help as does a dash of salt on the food. Good eats!- Alton Brown
