A recent study reports something strange: When mice with Alzheimer's disease inhale menthol, their cognitive abilities improve. It seems the chemical compound can stop some of the damage done to the brain that's usually associated with the disease. In particular, researchers noticed a reduction in the interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) protein, which helps to regulate the body's inflammatory response – a response that can offer natural protection but one that leads to harm when it's not controlled properly. The team behind the study, published in April 2023, says it shows the potential for particular smells to be used as therapies for Alzheimer's. If we can figure out which odors cause which brain and immune system responses, we can harness them to improve health.

You may know that menthol cigarettes are stereotypically associated with black smokers. You may even know that, statistically, most black smokers do smoke menthols. But do you know why?

Beginning in the 1950’s, tobacco companies heavily targeted menthol advertisements toward black communities. Sometimes cigarettes were even distributed in black neighborhoods for free. Highly addictive, menthol smoking created repeat customers for tobacco companies, and smoking-related illness continue to kill hundreds of thousands of black Americans every year.

Here are the pair of mons I redrew last month that are based on a pepper’s ability to make capsaicin and another based on a mint’s ability to make menthol.

Here's a video from my YouTube where I talk about them.

Plants make these kind of chemicals to deter some species from eating the plant too much; however, to larger animals, these chemicals might not be enough but would still leave a certain taste. Capsaicin from peppers fit in the heat receptor of many animals, making them feel hot while mints’ menthol fit into cold receptors. Even though the temperature hasn’t changed, these chemicals can make some animals feel hot or cold.

Capsol (Grass/Fire): Some recipes use Capsols’ chemicals to warm the consumer of the dish even in the coldest of days. Most do not disturb Capsols because the chemicals they spit can create a burning feel even when it is not hot.

Minter (Grass/Ice): Others avoid Minters in cold regions because they secrete chemicals that make others feel colder. The touch from a Minter can make anyone feel chills even during the hottest of days.
