[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] Oh My! LONDON (Reuters) - The curry has long been Britain's favorite ethnic food and now scientists have found out why -- the spices are addictive. Researchers at Nottingham Trent University found that eating a spicy curry prompts the kind of physiological symptoms addictive substances often provoke, including increases in the heartbeat and blood pressure. And those who eat curries often build up a tolerance to spices, and crave hotter and hotter dishes, the experts found. "What we are seeing is physiological and psychological effects combining to create an addiction," Professor Stephen Gray, who spearheaded the research, told the Times newspaper on Wednesday. "Curry gives you a natural 'high' much more powerful than anything you get with traditional British foods," he added of the study, based on the responses of 100 volunteers aged from 10 to 80.
