Watched for the first time tonight, and the episode continued to claim that
the reactions to capsaisin were a result on it's effect on the taste buds.
(This is the same mistake that Alton Brown made on his Good Eats show on
Chiles). They totally miss the fact that the eyes (and other sensitive parts
of the body) have no taste buds) I'm willing to give Alton a skate on this as
he has done a lot of good coverage of the science of food preparation. but
this new operation ought to see what it can do to present a realistic
representation as to the true nature of El Grande...
