So, I had a doctor's appointment last week having to do with girly stuff... She told me that, among other things, eating spicy food would exacerbate menopausal symptoms. I have decided that I should throw caution to the wind and do the opposite. I'll let you know how I make out. Has anyone seen any evidence to support or deny her claim? I, being perpetually 29, would appreciate your comments, however humorous they may be. Munching on chips w/ Tabasco Habanero Sauce as we speak - Helen
