Can You Build Up Tolerance?

Oliver: Chile's container product or a compound called capsaicin which is basically known as the hot chemical and that interacts with a particular receptor on your tongue. What we eat when we're young shapes our, I guess our tastes as we get older but you can also build this up. Oliver: Our nervous system is incredibly changing and malleable and plastic so if you are working towards going in one of these Chile eating competitions then that's the way to do it. The Chinese tree shrew actually actively seeks out Chile peppers and gobbles them down. It would be all over that California reaper. Thanks Oliver.
