pretty interesting article, i didn't realize capsaicin was already used in medicine. that would be cool if it turns out to be an effective tool against cancer.

Yes,

Especially colon cancer since it often works as a laxative. I know also of some of the other health benefits of it.. I mean I seen alot of chiliheads that eat alot and are fairly skinny.. lol I am on the slender side myself so the affects on the metabolims are clear. Plus it is supposedly works as an aphrodisiac so I hope chiliheads are getting that thing going.. Myself right now am not, lol..

Same here, but the booze certainly doesn't help me either.

Hang on, you're in the army. Don't you have to do assault courses and stuff?
 
Duck, I'm in the same boat as you. I can pretty much eat and drink what I want with weight impunity.

However, one day our metabolisms will slow down...
