Most of you probably know what wasabi (Japanese horseradish) is and tastes like...

Does it kill your brain cells?
I have a huge fear of losing brain cells in life, and an hour ago I ate sushi with my family and had a HUGE portion of wasabi mixed in with my soy sauce. I didn't realize how ridiculously bad I would feel for the next 30 seconds or so. It was the absolute heaviest ratio of wasabi to soy sauce I had ever had, and there was intense PAIN in the very top of my head.

it was so bad (it tasted so good though)

Ah, yes, the joys of wasabi. Delicious things ^.^

But no, isothiocyanates, responsible for the flavor, don ot kill brain cells. To the contrary, it's said to be good for you in that it kills bacteria and the whatnot.

The fact that you're asking this question leads me to believe you don't have many brain cells left to kill.

After doing a quick google search, nothing came up, so I'd have to assume, no.

lol... I don't think you can lose brain cells from overdose of flavour. Unless you got whiplash from the awesome...

if it's so obvious that it doesn't, then why would you even google it and then "assume" no

LOL don't even try to turn the tables on him.

He was giving you the benefit of the doubt and he looked it up, assuming that you had SOME basis to believe that wasabi kills your brain cells.

My girlfriend enjoys the "pain" inflicted by wasabi and she always puts a lot on her sushi (after she ingests them she'll cover her nose trying to ease the "pain"). Although that's the way she enjoys sushi, I always find it embarassing when eating them with her.

it was just a really unique, sharp pain centralized at the very top of my head, so i thought it was plausible that there would be some negative effect from having way too much of it

There's probably a negative effect, but it probably has more to do with your stomach. As I understand it wasabi is actually kinda good for you.

I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

I should smack you in the head for making me read such a ludicrous blog. You'd also lose a few brain cells in the process.

Wasabi is fine, I think it just has to do with your sinuses. And sushi is the shit.
