Sexy food: Turning up the heat for Valentine’s Day

Excerpt: “There are some wines that doctors have shown replicate human pheromone scents,” Reiley added. “Just the aroma alone can add to the layer of attraction.”
I’m not sure which doctors might have shown this, but the effect of food odors (e.g., cookbook chemistry) on hormones involved in behavior is widely known. This makes me wonder why the effect of social odors (e.g., human pheromones) on hormones is not both widely known and accepted as a biological fact, whether or not some doctor shows it. It’s common sense! Isn’t it?
James V. Kohl detailedl how quantized energy-dependent microRNA biogenesis links the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to biophysically constrained viral latency and healthy longevity. Links from what organisms eat to the enzyme-dependent metabolism of food also link metabolic networks to microRNA-mediated genetic networks in the context of RNA interference. Drug therapies alter RNA interference by altering cell type differentiation in all cells of all individuals of all species. For comparison, during the past 26 years, Kohl has detailed how the chemistry of protein folding is biophysically constrained at every level of biological organization by conserved molecular mechanisms.
