South Korea鈥檚 Buldak noodles are super spicy - and Denmark鈥檚 food regulator has now recalled some types of them, saying they could cause "acute poisoning". The company behind the noodles says there are no quality issues. They鈥檙e used in extreme food challenges that often go viral online. So we decided to try them ourselves and they were FIERY!

The 大象传媒鈥檚 Health and Science Correspondent, James Gallagher, explains why spicy food can make us feel all hot and bothered, how to combat the side effects, and takes us through some common myths about spice.
