研究了对辣椒刺激性的先天厌恶的逆转。在墨西哥和美国进行了访谈、观察和测量。接触逐渐增加的食物中的辣椒水平似乎是偏好发展的一个充分条件。喜欢辣椒的人对它所产生的刺激并不是不敏感的。他们开始喜欢同样的灼烧感，阻止动物和不喜欢辣椒的人;有一个明显的享乐转变。这可能与积极事件有关，包括增强清淡食物的味道，摄入后效应或社会奖励。最初对辣椒的负面反应可能对最终的喜欢至关重要。辣椒刺激一种先天的感官警告系统，但无害。刺激的享受可能是由于用户认识到这种感觉和身体对它的防御反应是无害的。吃辣椒，坐过山车，洗热水澡和许多其他人类活动可以被认为是寻求刺激或享受有限风险的例子。支持和反对辣椒摄入的各种解释的证据。
The reversal of an innate aversion to the irritant properties of chili pepper was studied. Interviews, observations and measurements were carried out in Mexico and the USA. Exposure to gradually increasing levels of chili in food seems to be a sufficient condition for preference development. Chili likers are not insensitive to the irritation that it produces. They come to like the same burning sensation that deters animals and humans that dislike chili; there is a clear hedonic shift. This could be produced by association with positive events, including enhancement of the taste of bland foods, postingestional effects or social rewards. The initial negative response to chili pepper may essential for the eventual liking. Chili stimulates an innate sensory warning system but is not harmful. The enjoyment of the irritation may result from the user's appreciation that the sensation and the body's defensive reaction to it are harmless. Eating of chili, riding on roller coasters, taking very hot baths and many other human activities can be considered instances of thrill seeking or enjoyment of constrained risks. Evidence for and against various explanations of chili ingestion is presented.
