Episode notes
Your gut is essentially being the gatekeeper of what is allowed into your body. It breaks down and makes safe a food, which if it got into the bloodstream would be dangerous. The other thing that I would add is I've already mentioned pepper and ginger and cuckayan and cardamom. They're all hot spices. And there's a certain molecule attached to them - they feel hot because they're tickling your pain fibers. So these things, including turmeric, feel hot by tickling these fibers mainly in the mouth and the throat and gut it. What happens is you get a reflex increase in blood flow.
