In the end, too much of anything can kill you.
I was just about to post The pros and Cons, so is there anything good out of peppers?
Too much water can kill you too.
I believe that's been said four or five times already. Love to see people posting--don't love repeating the same thing. Take a moment and read a thread before you add to it. Please.
The idea that anyone could sit down and eat three pounds of pepper powder is ridiculous. I would hazard a guess that eating three pounds of any type of powder is dang near impossible.
Edit: Crud, I should read the dang articles myself before posting. Idiot Patrick. The articles says and I quote, "A research study in 1980 calculated that three pounds of extreme chilies in powder form — of something like the Bhut Jolokia — eaten all at once could kill a 150-pound person."
capsaicin shown to be helpful in prostate cancer....one of the main reasons I started eating peppers every meal...
