Capsasin can be as powerful of a cure as it can be a painful enemy. I unfortunitly had to make an agreement with most peppers, if I don't mess with them, then they won't mess with me.
you got any ghost seeds yet? I plan on starting the HOTS in late January under the T5's[8D]
yes i do, i have several varieties too, i just ate 3 off my isolated plants this morning, red bhut jolokias, the ones in the pictures are orange but will turn red, the yellow ones are "yellow bhut jolokias", in addition i have "peach, and chocolate"
RED CHILI PEPPER BENEFITS- FIGHT AGAINST CANCER?
In a recent study, researchers found that red chili pepper appear to be effective inhibitors of the cancer
process. They looked at the chemotherapeutic potential of capsaicin, the "hot" ingredient in red chili pepper
that is often associated with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory activities. In the study, it exhibited anticancer
activity against pancreatic cancer cells. It disrupted the mitochondrial function resulting in the release of
cytochrome c, which induced apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in the cancerous cells without affecting
normal pancreatic cells.
Capsaicin (trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the main pungent principle of hot pepper, which is
consumed in high quantities by humans worldwide. The capsaicin content of some chili varieties ranges up to
0.53%. [2] Some people believe that red pepper /capsaicin provides multiple health benefits for various
chronic inflammatory diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, diabetes, allergy,
asthma, arthritis, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, psoriasis, septic
shock, and AIDS. It is because these chronic inflammatory diseases are associated with the activation of
nuclear transcription factor kappaB. While, capsaicin derived from red pepper has been shown to be able to
interrupt the pathway activating this transcription factor. [1,6,7,10,14, 16]

Can Peppers Damage the Esophagus?
If you love spicy foods, including peppers, you are probably familiar with the burning sensation they can cause. You may also worry about whether they're doing damage to your esophagus, the tube leading from your mouth to your stomach. Rest assured, peppers may cause a burning sensation, but they do not cause actual burning.
Causes of the Burn
Peppers appear to burn your insides when you eat them, but that's an illusion. Peppers contain capsaicin, a substance that simulates the burning sensation without actually causing burning, according to NYU Langone Medical Center. Capsaicin causes the release of Substance P, a chemical your body releases when tissues are damaged. When you apply capsaicin to tissues, it depletes the supply of Substance P and decreases pain. So while you may perceive a burning
sensation, the pepper doesn't actually burn your skin
Causes of Esophageal Damage
Damage can occur to the esophagus after eating peppers, but it generally occurs when acid in the stomach travels back up into the esophagus because the muscle between the stomach and esophagus doesn't close tightly. Stomach acid is very caustic. The lining of the stomach can handle the high acid content, but the tissues in the lining of the esophagus and throat can't.
keep in mind that spicy peppers of this nature are starting to be linked to esophageal cancers...
acid reflux...but i still love the hot stuff..just have to rock 300mg of zantac a day
Yes,....I used to love the stuff though.
Out of the question for me.[xx(]

as I said "starting" to be linked...dont want to start a pissing match. Just looking out for your health buddy..
i do know they raise your metabolism, and have high amounts of vitamins, and anti-oxidants, i will eat them raw on foods, but my preferred method is breakfast cooked in a tablespoon of olive oil, then add hash browns to them, it really tames the heat, and preserves the flavor
