White pepper also has some powerful physiological effects thanks to a compound called piperine. Piperine has been shown to do a wide variety of things, including activating taste receptors to make salt taste saltier and sugar taste sweeter, activating a special receptor in your brain that triggers the release of feel-good endorphins, increasing intestinal water flow and production of digestive enzymes, and possibly even helping to counteract the effects of high-fat diets.

This was an interesting statement from a book review about, "Why Humans Like Junk Food" (www.amazon.com/Why-Humans-Like-Junk-Food/dp/059541429X) by author Steven Witherly. While the article bangs on about the Leddington Recipe, its info/claims about White Pepper is of interest especially in light of past discussions about the level of white pepper in our recipe formulations.

Cheers.
