Why no mention about the benefits of increased Cayenne uptake?
Oh, I forgot, no corresponding wine industry lobbying and advertising groups ...

"CAPSICUM"
BY DR. JOHN R. CHRISTOPHER- When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the blood has a harder time circulating; therefore, higher pressure forces the liquid through. Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that the pressure is equalized; it influences the heart immediately, then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves (the frequency of the pulse is not increased, but is given more vigor).
- CIRCULATION?Warming; dilating; specific for varicose veins; equalizes the blood pressure in the arterial and venous system; equalizes;
- Capsicum supports the natural beat (rhythm) of the viscera and interior actions of the glandular, circulatory, lymphatic, and digestive systems. It has been used with great success as a cure for spotted fever (?); the most active stimulant to support and re-animate feeble or exhausted powers.
NOW we're talking...hot peppers, hot sauces, and HOT salsas...mmmmm-good! Best of all; GREAT for the ticker! Eat hot peppers TODAY!
Sounds good!
I am going to start adding Cayenne to my food, chocolate, almonds and wine. ;)
Seriously, I didn't know there are quite this many benefits to Cayanne. And it has the advantage,that you can eat it and still be around people, unlike with garlic.
Fortunately I do like hot, spicy food.
