In this one-time class, we will discuss spicy food, why some love/hate it, and the bizarre way our bodies react to it. #academic

Whoooo, that’s spicy!  

What is spice?  Why does it hurt?  And why do I kind of like it?

Come learn about the science of spicy food.  A topic that many wouldn’t think much of as they enjoy their spicy pizza, noodles or chicken wings!  There is a lot of science behind spice and the way our bodies react to it.

In this course, learners will gain an understanding of the biochemical processes of spice.  We discuss the way your brain interprets the sensation of spicy food, how we measure spice...

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn the biology, chemistry, and even some psychology of how people react to spice.
