Hi all,
Most of my family and friends swear off chiles because of stomach
problems.  I always tell them that hot peppers are actually good for
stomach troubles; ie., capsacin kills bacteria that causes or is
proliferated in certain ulcers, and chiles initially clean the system
[ya, you might be confined to the outhouse for awhile when you first
begin the great journey of chile-dom, but once the chiles purge your gut
of the true culprits of your gastro-distresses, you will be be closer
to  a pure, healthy and clean endogastro system].
Question is: Am I wrong?
It seems I read this stuff long ago as a young CH and it has stuck with
me ever since.  
If any of you know of scientific-like links or interesting chile-health
stuff, please let me know.
Thanks,
Casey
