Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的) food?

Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents andgrandparents and greatgrandparents liked hot food,or is there some connection betweenspices and healthy food?

Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have someimportant chemicals(化学物质).These chemicals can kill bacteria(细菌) which spoil food.

“Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food,”explains one of thescientists.The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at highertemperatures.For this reason,it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates.

Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the countryyou come from.If you like spicy food,it is possible that hundreds of years ago,when therewere no fridges,people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling.

The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer,healthier lives.Today,in atime of fridges,the spices just make the food taste good.
