A little interesting news that is not about the rampant and mostly uncontrolled crime of the Denver metro. Interesting discovery though none the less.

Archive: https://archive.today/E1W7w

From the post: "But what Breville discovered was that hops contain certain compounds (humulene and myrcene) that work together to bind to a different protein, TRPM8, which is often referred to as the cold and menthol receptor. “Everything else that’s ever been around has been trying to flush the capsaicin off of our tongue and out of our mouth,” he explains. “[Mr. B’s Elixir] doesn’t do that. It just adapts to a different receptor and sends a signal that confuses our brain into not feeling the pain of the capsaicin.” This makes it a more effective product than anything currently on the market, and Breville immediately saw its potential."

Beer has always been known as a remedy for capsaicin. Mythbusters tested popular capsaicin remedies, they found beer and milk to be the most effective. A lot of beers are made with hops, so the link makes sense.
