Spicy Foods And Cancer
The compound that makes spicy food hot and generates the heat in muscle strain remedies could be the key to a new generation of cancer drugs which kill tumours with no side effects, a leading scientist has said.
Capsaicin, the active component of chillies, has produced "startling" results in tests to kill a variety of tumour cells including pancreatic cancer, one of the most difficult versions of the disease to treat.

It is good news for me, since I eat a lot of spicy food. |

Thats IS cool. VERY cool. Lately (last couple years) I've been growing and drying and grinding a LOT of cayenne peppers and spicing a lot of foods with it. It has the best flavor (besides habanero, but the high heat makes most avoid habanero) for cooking.
You can't go wrong with cayenne :-)

I have been growing Thai Sun peppers and one nicknamed "rat turd" peppers. I love the heat but the hab is just too hot and seems to cover the taste of the dish.

If you grow them yourself jalapenos can get pretty hot too.
Do you like hot sauces?
Try Dave's Insanity. I ate a soup spoon of some on a bet, I had to eat it and go without anything to drink and I couldn't flip out and go crazy for 10 minutes. As soon as my time was over my body (pretty literally) rejected the sauce.
Anyways, if you use it in moderation, in chili or something it is actually pretty good.
Habs are the hottest that I have popped in my mouth though.
Last I heard, the hottest anywhere is the Tezpur, and I believe it is from India. It has tested at 885,000 on the scoville scale.
Here is a pic.
SOB looks hot.

If you love sauces try these:
Melindas :: The Original Habanero Pepper Site
They really ARE good. The hottest stuff they have is called red savina. Its made out of the hottest variety of habanero pepper. One little jar lasts a long time. Used for spicing large dishes. |
