I sort of thought the whole thing was bogus;  I sent it as a joke.  It was 
one of those paid advertisements on Google.  Gee, maybe Jim can set me up 
with 1.5 litres of capsaicin, that would be a good way to check out.

"Dangers of consuming too much hot sauce?
"The active ingredient in hot sauce is capsaicin," says Antoniades. "It's
toxic, but you have to drink about 1.5 litres."

1.5 liters of capsaicin?  I suppose that could cause some discomfort.

Hell, water is "toxic" if you drink enough of it, but I'll take my chances 
and
follow the diet anyway...   :-)
