Chahl Published 2016 Geography, Medicine Temperature: Multidisciplinary Biomedical Journal Dear Editor-in-Chief, This letter is in response to the puzzle posed in your editorial “Why do people living in hot climates like their food “hot” (spicy) whereas most cuisines under more temperate climates are relatively bland?” Many speculative explanations for this seeming paradox have evolved. A favored physiological proposal is that the gustatory sweating induced by consumption of hot spicy food induces cooling of the body which is beneficial in a hot climate.
