    　　Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great grandparents liked hot food, or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?

    　　Researchers from Comell University think that it is because spice plants contain some important chemicals. These chemicals can kill bacteria which spoil food. "Most common spices like garlic, onion, and hot peppers can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food." Explains one of the biologists. The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures. For this reason, it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates.

    　　Do you like your food spicy or mild? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from. If you like spicy food, it is possible that hundreds of years ago, when there were no refrigerators, 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 a time of refrigerators and freezers, the spices just make the food taste good.
