Manly Men Eat Spicy Food. It's Just Science Fact

Naomi Kritzer January 8, 2015 SciTech

There's an article making the rounds about how men with higher testosterone levels prefer spicier foods. The study was done in France. Men were tested for testosterone levels, then handed a plate of mashed potatoes and as many little packets of Tabasco sauce they wanted to add to flavor it, along with salt packets. Providing the Tabasco and salt in packets made it easy to determine how much was used as researchers could just count the open packets.

Big reveal: Higher testosterone correlated with a higher use of Tabasco, but not salt.

The thing about the full study was the way they recruited the men: they told them they'd be doing a food-tasting session that had been organized by a food research company, to do a sensory analysis of food that was going to be developed commercially in the future. The men were instructed to abstain from food or drink (other than water) for three hours beforehand, to ensure that they'd be reasonably hungry. Once they showed up, they were presented with 150g of mashed potatoes, 50 satchets of Tabasco sauce (the paper refers to these as "doses"), and 80 satchets of salt. They were also given an information sheets warning them of the risks of adding Tabasco, i.e., that one dose would be spicy while six doses might cause "temporary extinction of the sense of taste" and "vomiting."

So. Imagine. You're a man between the ages of 18 and 45 and you've been recruited, you thought, for a food research study. You show up expecting to be served something like papaya-flavored yogurt or maybe a quinoa-based breakfast cereal or peppermint frosting. Instead, they hand you a plate with 150g of mashed potatoes on it. Along with fifty satchets of Tabasco sauce. And a chart telling you that six satchets might make you vomit. Delicious!

What I want to know -- and of course the study doesn't tell me -- is how these people reacted, and how the research assistants kept a straight face. Potatoes? Really? You're testing mashed potatoes? (My husband, on hearing this study, wanted to know who puts Tabasco on their mashed potatoes, anyway. "People who aren't being provided butter or gravy?" I said.)

Not included in the study results: if you're a man from Grenoble, France, even if you have high testosterone, you are likely to be generous and accommodating to scientific researchers. Either that, or they made some reasonably high-quality mashed potatoes behind the scenes in that lab. This was France; I suppose that part may have been just a given.

ditto.

Do Frenchmen even use Tabasco? Pretty simplistic flavoring. I never use
it - I find something to add heat that adds more complexity. But not to
mashed potatoes. Ridiculous.

In a BBQ restaurant, I saw someone place a few drops of Tabasco sauce on
their scoop of potato salad. Of course I had to try it and it tasted
pretty good, I think it was the zing of the extra vinegar. Not so sure
about mashed potatoes, though.

As I think about this, I bet the test subjects were told to put as much salt
and Tabasco sauce on the potatoes to achieve a desired level of saltiness
and spice as a test vehicle, not necessarily eat these mashers like you
would at home.

They would have gotten a better result of they had provided something that actually pairs with Tabasco Sauce, like chili or spanish rice.

Me too! I only know of one person who might do that. A relative of my
mom's who had some problem to where he couldn't taste any food. He said if
he put enough Tabasco on there then the tingling sensation let him know that
it was in fact food. We had no Tabasco in the house so he said black pepper
would do. He put so much pepper on his meal, I thought he would choke. He
didn't/

I occasionally use the green jalapeno flavor but I don't even have the
regular stuff in the house. I don't think I have even tried it.

Or even plain rice. I know someone who puts Siraccha sauce on that.

Ah, that's the GOOD stuff...and of course the Chipotle as well.

Just do it and stop agonizing over it. Then you'll know either
way.

She hasn't figured out we don't care if she doesn't like it.

Personally I find most Tabasco sauce boring. As for the study, salt or
Tabasco sauce? Salt. Where's the butter?! The sour cream? I
certainly wouldn't put it on mashed potatoes.

But the jalapeno version Tabasco is hardly worth mentioning. Jalapenos
are not all that hot. IMHO.

I've tried them all, thanks to the restaurants that have them all
available for customers and decided I'm a fan of original flavor.

So it was just another example of you doing what you claim you don't
do? ie: insert needless negativity into every thread.

I see. So it is negativity now if I state my opinion? You don't like wet
burritos. Jill doesn't like cold foods. It's okay for you to say those
things, which I see as an opinion. Not negativity.

We don't beat people over the head with those opinions.

I don't repond to every thread that mentions salads or raw vegetables or
cold food with a negative comment. Yet I cannot begin to count (nor
would I want to) the number of times you've posted you don't like
*cooked* vegetables. That's the difference. You slam RFC with your
dislikes. Constantly.

I see. So... My saying that I don't like Chipotle is beating people over
the heads? How so?

Where did I say that I don't like cooked vegetables? That's total nonsense.
I eat cooked vegetables all the time! Last night I ate the meatloaf that I
made from scratch, including the chili sauce that I made from scratch.
Both the meatloaf and the chili sauce had cooked vegetables in them. I also
had green beans straight from the can. Oh whoa! I know that you know that
I have said that before because you called me out on it! And you thought
that when I said that, I took the can to the sink and ate them there. Nope.
Took the beans straight from the can onto my plate. I *will* eat hot,
cooked green beans. I just prefer them like that. How many more lies are
you going to spout? Now what I probably said was that I prefer some
vegetables raw. Like carrots. But there is an exception. I do like the
large (as in not baby) carrots, roasted with beef. I don't know if I prefer
them over raw. Both are damned good. And what I also said was that *in
this house* we eat more raw vegetables than we do cooked. We all *like* raw
vegetables.

Now do you see any complaints in any of that? I don't. I was saying not
only what *I* liked but what my *family* liked too. And we all like my
meatloaf!

I don't respond to every thread either. There are a lot of threads I don't
go into at all. Because they are of no interest to me.

I'll let someone else take the time to look it up. Trust me, you said it.

Nope. I may have said it in reference to a specific vegetable. Such as
broccoli, which I can't eat now because I won't digest it but if it were not
for that... I would eat it raw but not cooked. I probably also said that I
don't really like cooked cabbage, which I can't eat now either. But to make
a claim that I said that I hate cooked vegetables? Laughable.

That wasn't my point. My point is whenever we bring up practically
*any* food subject, she responds with a negative comment based on
herself - effectively turning the subject to *her*. Me me me.

That's not true at all. I said that I liked the green Jalapeno kind of
Tabasco. Liked it! And I was told not to mention it.

I don't think you do.

However, I don't see the point, when someone says "I like chipotle Tabasco"
for you to say "I don't like Chipotle". He wasn't exhorting you to buy
it; he was merely saying that he likes it.

Yet when I said that I liked the Jalapeno kind, I was told that I shouldn't
have mentioned it. Why the double standard? And why in the world would you
think that I thought that he wanted me to buy it? Why do people here treat
me like I should have no opinion on things.

That's the way she turns the subject around to herself.
