This just in!
  The Bureau for Learning About Nutritional Developments
(BLAND) has issued a report disputing the recent reports
of benefits to be had from the ingestion of various species
of capsicum.  Their latest body of work, "Sicknesses to be
Caught from Eating Spicy Foods" is being hailed by Al
Gore, a founding member, as a seminal work in the field of
determining effect without considering established research
already completed.  They have worked with the Center for
Scaring the Public Indescriminately (CSPI) to issue the
following press release:

     "We have several anecdotes and a number of rather
convincing old wives tales that lead us to the inescapable
conclusion that eating these "chilly" peppers can lead to
spontaneous human combustion!"
     "Furthermore, these so-called "chilly" peppers are not
cold.  Indeed, they are invariably room temperature.  A
committee to study the formation of an investigative body
regarding the possibility of initiating legal action has been
formed."

Stay tuned for further developments.....
