In fact, it such an effective pain medication...

Interesting, I’d never heard that. Is it taken internally or applied topically for pain relief?

"Interesting, I’d never heard that. Is it taken internally or applied topically for pain relief?"

The product I'm familiar with, Equi-Bloc (sp?), is a topical salve. I believe that this was also the product that caused problems with several horses in the last Olympics, as it's banned by the World Equine governing bodies. I'm not sure if there are other products with alternative delivery mechanisms, like nutritional supplements or injectables.

Maybe another reason why I am not a super model. Quit eating spicy food too early in life ;-)

FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

P.S. If you're a type 2 diabetic or have weight problems, and you don't like red peppers or hot sauce, then trust me. I didn't like either until Vietnam. It's one of the few acquired addictions that doesn't cause harm, IMHO.

Cooking in lard will do that...

Doesn’t cause harm? Speak for yourself, have you ever had diverticulitis?

I love spicy food. My husband loves it even more. This is good news!

Food isnt edible without fire/chile

And Nipa Palm (young coconut) viniger.

[Global2010]

Only processed foods flare my diverculi..
Oh and coffee and caffeine tea.
Each to his own ails.

Nuts/strawberries/hot chili ect no problemo.

I’ll tell you one thing; they didn’t do this study in Houston. Never seen so many grossly obese people in my life.

Unless Bluebell comes out with a chili-pepper ice cream, that trend will continue.;)

[Ditter]

Black pepper, cayenne pepper and jalapenos are the only things that I know of that get me. Black pepper is really hard to avoid.

[SeaHawkFan]

Blue Bell Ice Cream is pretty good, but Tillamook Ice Cream in the Pacific NW is at least as good.

Every seen how many calories are in a flour tortilla? It’s loaded with them.

Guess I can eat all the jalapeno peanut butter brittle I want!

I’m sure you’ve had Texas Sheet Cake. It is cloyingly sweet,yet delicious. The last time I made one, I decided to add 1/4 tsp. to the cake. The result was the perfect blend of sweet and heat. Right at the back of the throat heat> Delicious!

[small voice in the wilderness]

1/4 tsp. what? WHAT???

cayenne. nothing like leaving the secret ingredient OUT! duh

Speak for yourself, have you ever had diverticulitis?

Yes I have, but not since I stopped having bagels almost daily for breakfast, i.e. weekdays. I still use plenty of hot sauce and red peppers.
