My wife and I have eaten hot stuff for years, and by ‘hot stuff’, I mean ghost chiles, and now Scorpions and Carolina Reapers. Back the end of 2007, I had my first colonoscopy at the age of 59.
Afterwards the doctor said he had never seen a colon as ‘clean’ as mine, especially since I had never had one before. I had absolutely no polyps, no nothing, just ‘clean and smooth’ as the doctor said.
Told him it was probably because any polyps were regularly burned off and cauterized.
FWIW I don’t care for any of hot sauces, Tabasco, Frank’s, etc. All I taste is vinegar. I do however like Sriracha.
