Description
The Israeli expert began his presentation like this: “Unfortunately, the Portuguese don't like spicy food. Which is strange, because in countries where it is hotter there tends to be a spicy culinary tradition.”
The reason for this opening is related to something new, which could well make us change our eating habits: "Chili peppers help prevent and combat many autoimmune diseases."
