This is the one that really worried me.
Don't let it worry you! That's one thing great about chili, there's a version for almost anyone. Have to watch your cholesterol? Then make the vegetable or veggie and bean types. On the high protein diet and limiting carbohydrates, then prepare an all meat one. Counting calories, stick with all veggies. Need fiber go heavy with the beans then add veggies.
My mother slices chili peppers in her chili. One year she had a terrible head cold and her ears were plugged up. After eating the chili her ears cleared!
Go chili!
This thread is really getting to me as I'm pregnant at the moment. On the one hand it is making me hungry and on the other the thought of TUMS all night is a turn off. I'll have to add chili to my "after pregnancy pig out" list.
