Rich told me recently that I was going to need a "stomach replacement by the time I reach an older age"... A comment/joke that has stuck with me.

Through the years I've noticed that my tastes for peppers dumbfound my friends and family. I remember starting out enjoying the "hot" Pace Picante sauce that I had amped up a little bit with crushed red pepper and cayenne, now, some 18 years later, I "need" habanero in just about everything, including my ketchup for fries and have recently started looking for hotter peppers such as the ghost pepper. I know that in some countries the children start out eating these habanero peppers at a young age, which would indicate that they are okay???

I have read that consuming peppers regularly boost your immune system and good things like that, but I am concerned about how they may effect the body in large doses, long term...

Any insight?
