What the heck is this chemical "capsaicin cousin that is 1,000 times more potent"?????

 

[imaguitargod]

They probably ment it's the extracted capsaicin (writer could have gotten it wrong).

At one point he said:

ultra-purified version of capsaicin

And at some other point he said:

capsaicin cousin that is 1,000 times more potent

Maybe it's something new?

well they should hush up about it. next thing they'll say its illegal to drive after eating a pepper. Roadside scoville testing.

They were talking about the extracted capaicin the whole time. Later on they separately mentioned the cousin for another procedure.............Also, if they were doing capaicin tests on the side of the road I'd be screwed!!
