囧研究：愛吃辣的人愛冒險？
試了200人，看他們在面對某些令腎上腺素激升的情況時做何反應(yīng)，比如站在某物的邊緣或者看一部懸疑片。[/cn] [en]They were then given a small amount of [w]capsaicin[/w] - the active ingredient in chilli peppers - in a glass of water and asked to [w]swish[/w] it around their mouth. Those who said they liked the spicy taste were the same ones who enjoyed the adrenalin rush of risky behaviour.[/en][cn]他們每人會得到含有少量辣椒素（辣椒的主要成分）的一杯水，并被要求用它漱口。那些說自己喜歡辣味的人正是喜歡令腎上腺素飆升的冒險行為的人。[/cn] [en]The test, known as Arnett’s [w=inventory]Inventory[/w] of Sensation Seeking, was carried out by researchers at Penn University in Pennsylvania. The AISS test is used by scientists to determine each person’s level of risk taking behaviour.[/en][cn]這項測試被稱作“阿內(nèi)特庫存感覺尋求(AISS)模型”，是賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)的研究人員發(fā)明的?？茖W(xué)家使用“阿內(nèi)特庫存感覺尋求模型”測試判定每個人的冒險行為的程度。[/cn] [en]Dr. Alan Hirsch of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago says the [w]correlation[/w] between risk taking and spicy food makes total sense to him.[/en][cn]芝加哥“嗅覺和味覺治療與研究基金會”的艾倫·赫希博士表示他完全贊同冒險與辣味之間的聯(lián)系。[/cn] [en]He said: 'There’s a long-standing [w]hypothesis[/w] that risk takers are adrenaline [w]deficient[/w] and that they take risks to get that adrenaline and feel better. So they’ll work with bombs or in other high risk environments and then they’ll feel normal. Similarly, when you eat hot spicy food, it gives you a little bit of pain and therefore [w=enhance]enhances[/w] your adrenaline level.'[/en][cn]他說：“長期以來，有一種假說是冒險者腎上腺素匱乏，他們通過冒險來獲取腎上腺素，使自己感覺更好。所以他們與炸彈打交道，或者在其它高危環(huán)境里工作，這樣他們才會感覺正常。同樣，當你吃辣的食物時，它可以給你些許疼痛感，這樣就會提高腎上腺素含量?！盵/cn]
