Several Nutrition reports have shown that Women fee the chilly taste more stronly than their male counterparts. Bolywood has immortalized this fact in the song ".. Tujhe Mirchi lagi toh mein kya karoon??" . Scientific reports now say that we can blame it on TRPV channels!!
Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid (TRPV) channels can sense Capsaicin which is the active ingredient of chilly. Now!! Estrogen (the Female sex hormone) sensitizes the TRPV channels to respond more actively to capsaicin, while Testosterone (the Male sex hormone) desinsitizes TRPV's responsiveness to capsaicin. So Gals ... blame it Hormones ... and Guys you are not smarter ..though your hormones are .. Njoy Chillying...!!
