"each person ate 30 grams per day of a condiment that was 55 percent cayenne pepper."
Woo Hoo! Where's the Porta-Potty? Hurry!
That's good, but they wind up with BBS...Burning Butt Syndrome
LOL. That's where you holler, "Come onnnnn icecream."
Also check out the supplements curcumin and CLA.
Very interesting. It's already known that consumption of small amounts of cinnamon and turmeric every day can help control blood sugar levels in diabetics.
I guess this bodes well for my family, as we use great quantities of chile peppers, not necessarily just cayennes, in our diets.
It may also bode very well for sales of my hot pepper jellies!!!!!

30 grams is about a quarter bottle of Dave's Insanity Sauce. Sure, I can do that!
Turmeric has been shown in some studies to prevent Alzheimers too.
Cinnamon has excellent properties that are helpful for diabetics, as well.
Am I to conclude that diabetes is unheard of in Mexico?
Thanks for reminding me........I've got 25 habanero seedlings that need transplanting :)
Careful planting them near other, milder varieties of pepper ... this may sound strange, but I've eaten ordinary green peppers out of my garden that apparently cross pollinated with a nearby row of habañeros - surprise - hot!!!
Been there, done that!!!!!
I learned that lesson the hard way more than 10 years ago. My hot and sweet peppers are seperated by about 150 feet. And I have my hots in rows, habaneros at one end and jalapenos at the other, and in between they are in descending order of heat.

They actually were pretty tasty, used in a dish that works with the heat. But, it's a little disconcerting when you don't know it's coming, lol.
Only if you are a whimp!
An ounce a day, rots your bowels away!
The body acclimates to the burn, somehow. When I was first introduced to habañeros, I thought I'd blistered my mouth. But, I do love hot, spicy food, and over time, I got to the point that I only experienced the good part of the hot and spicy, and not the bad.
