21、   What can be both red or green, round or sharp, big or small, and more importantly, loved or hated by someone？Yes, the answer is chilies. Humans are the only animals to eat Chilies, even though they sometimes cause us discomfort.

  About 600 million of Chinese, almost half of the national population, are chili eaters. However, did you know that this spicy （辣的）vegetable could put you in danger？A 34-year-old US man recently ended up in hospital after eating a Carolina Reaper, the spiciest chili people have known so far. After taking just a single bite of one, the man suffered from serious headaches in the following days, reported BBC News.

  It is a fact that eating spicy food causes stomachache and headache. But if chilies are truly harmful, why do people like to eat this vegetable？So what makes people love chilies so much？The secret lies in a natural chemical reaction within human bodies. After eating chilies, the human body reacts to some natural chemicals that produce “a sense of happiness”, noted BBC News.

  What’s more, chilies do good to people in another way. Scientists found that the death rate of those who eat spicy food once or twice a week is 10 percent lower than those who eat it less than once a week. The death rate is 14 percent lower for those who eat spicy food six to seven times a week. This encourages people to eat more spicy food to improve health and bring less death risk at an early age So, don’t worry if you love spicy food．It seems that chilies are actually good for us．
