Is it possible to plant memories from childhood into adult minds?
A study was done by Ira Hyman that suggested childhood memories could be
implanted. The subjects ranged in age from 18-53 and were given four stories provided
by their relatives. One of the stories never happened.

25% of the subjects remembered the false event.
Some of the subjects did not remember the "planted memory" during the first
interview, but by the second they could describe things that happened and
the emotions they felt.
A 14-year-old boy was led to believe he was lost in a shopping mall when he
was 5-years-old.

Subjects were also led to believe that they attended a wedding when they
were younger and spilled the punch bowl on the bride.

Fun Food Facts

Chili peppers are natural stimulants because they release endorphins in
your blood stream similar to a “runner’s high.”
A “runner's high” results when stress on the body triggers the release of
endorphins which stimulate the body and allow for more endurance.
Endorphins are neurotransmitters that act as the body’s natural pain
killers.
A tolerance is built from eating chili peppers; the more you eat the hotter
they have to be to produce a high that is anticipated.
