I love eating hot peppers- sometimes even half a jar in one sitting. Some people tell me that it is unhealthy and dangerous for the stomach. Is this true or made up??
December 16, 2008 5:43 am at 5:43 am #628306yenta101Memberi’ve heard that it could burn a hole in the lining of your stomach! at least the very hot ones!
December 16, 2008 5:52 am at 5:52 am #628307asdfghjklParticipantHot Peppers as in jalepenos or the yellow spicy pepper rings in a jar??
December 16, 2008 6:13 am at 6:13 am #628308brooklyn19Participantxerox – keep it up. i just checked them out. seems like they’re high in antioxidants, prevent strokes and heart attacks and also prevent cancer from spreading! from what i read, there is no proof that hot peppers cause ulcers. enjoy!
December 16, 2008 7:16 am at 7:16 am #628309xeroxMemberyenta: I’ve heard that also, but is it true? What exactly does it do to the stomach?? what’s the science behind it???

December 16, 2008 1:29 pm at 1:29 pm #628310SJSinNYCMemberI *heard* they actually speed up your metabolism but I have no idea.
I love eating them too! My favorite are the spicy picled ones from Israeli restaurants.
December 16, 2008 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm #628311Mrs. BeautifulMemberToo much of anything is not good, try sour pickles…
December 16, 2008 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm #628312JosephParticipantPerhaps ”Dr. Pepper” knows a thing or two about this.
December 16, 2008 3:42 pm at 3:42 pm #628313myshadowMemberMy father is always claiming that they are gona give me ulcers but dunno if that’s true! They’re heaven!!!
December 16, 2008 4:48 pm at 4:48 pm #628314shindyMemberWonder what will happen if you put it in the choulent…
December 16, 2008 5:24 pm at 5:24 pm #628315brooklyn19Participantthey probably lose whatever they have. like putting alcohol in chulent. that’s what i’m imagining.
December 16, 2008 6:13 pm at 6:13 pm #628316myshadowMemberThey taste great though on the side with cholent!
December 17, 2008 2:17 am at 2:17 am #628317asdfghjklParticipantxerox: lol they do taste different!!!!
December 17, 2008 2:58 am at 2:58 am #628318yankdownunderMemberI do not know about all hot peppers, Cayenne(or hot red pepper) is fantastic and quite tasty. Add Turmeric and Curry and you have Winter Indian choulent that may just keep the immune system in tact.
December 17, 2008 5:14 am at 5:14 am #628319Esther1MemberYankdownunder- I recently started putting in cayenne pepper. It’s been a big hit!
December 17, 2008 2:48 pm at 2:48 pm #628320Mrs. BeautifulMemberEsther1, u have to know exactly how much to put, that’s a very strong spice!!
December 17, 2008 3:36 pm at 3:36 pm #628321noitallmrParticipantAnyone here have Charif???
I looove it. With Falafel and Chumus…
December 17, 2008 3:46 pm at 3:46 pm #628322Esther1MemberMrs. B- I put in a very tiny bit. Otherwise….
December 17, 2008 9:11 pm at 9:11 pm #628323yenta101Memberxerox: the lining in your stomach is to protect the sides of your stomach, by eating very hot peppers you are making a whole in it. either from the spiciness of it or maybe it as acids in it or something! sorry i don’t really know much info. on this topic! maybe just take it easy with the hot stuff though 😉
December 18, 2008 12:09 am at 12:09 am #628324noitallmrParticipantYou for real yenta101?
Is that an end to my charrif and chumus? SNIFF SNIFF… :-(((((((
December 18, 2008 1:36 am at 1:36 am #628325xeroxMembernoitallmr: chumus isn’t hot!??

December 19, 2008 4:24 am at 4:24 am #628330noitallmrParticipantxerox did you not see my 🙂 at the end meaning I wasn’t being exactly serious? Come on man where’s the humor?
December 19, 2008 5:28 am at 5:28 am #628331xeroxMembersorry noitall!! is this a better reaction:
“hahahahahaaa!!! good one!!!!!!! :o) ;o)”

December 20, 2008 9:19 pm at 9:19 pm #628332noitallmrParticipantYeah loads better…:o) ;o)

December 21, 2008 12:15 am at 12:15 am #628333brooklyn19ParticipantPLEASE tell me you’re not serious, noitallmr! how old are you? 85????
December 21, 2008 12:59 am at 12:59 am #628335Esther1MemberMy kids teach me these things from texting. JK = just kidding
December 21, 2008 1:03 am at 1:03 am #628336yenta101Memberso im still in the middle of researching..so far i’ve seen/heard that it could be dangerous for your stomach lining for the previous reason i stated! some also say that its good for you and can reduce the chances of stroke and hearts attack. as well, some say that it actually strengthens your stomach lining! but im still looking up so ill let you know more soon!
December 21, 2008 1:17 am at 1:17 am #628337noitallmrParticipant85??? Do I sound that young? Not gonna reveal my age but I remember when the Dead Sea was very sick.
Kidding I’m pretty young actually but never quite got the hand of all the short-hand texting (mostly used by girls actually…)
December 21, 2008 1:49 am at 1:49 am #628338brooklyn19Participantactually my computer’s professor said that part of the curriculum really is to teach all those (even though he skipped it.) lol, gtg, brb and a zillion more. i kinda think it’s stupid. it’s really no big deal to write the words out normally.
December 21, 2008 6:24 am at 6:24 am #628340xeroxMemberbut it’s WAY easier and takes WAY faster!!!
December 21, 2008 3:10 pm at 3:10 pm #628341noitallmrParticipantYeah brooklyn19 for typing on a PC. But for texting by mobile where it costs per text you wanna cut down as much as poss.
By the way, does anyone know what this says? (I know, just wondering whether you do…)

December 21, 2008 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #628342brooklyn19Participantyou are too wise for me
December 22, 2008 4:10 am at 4:10 am #628343xeroxMemberhow about slap?
k, were getting a bit off topic-
yenta- got any updates yet?
December 22, 2008 5:08 am at 5:08 am #628344yenta101Memberok some more facts:
eating them too often produces more stomach acid,too much stomach acid over a period of time will eat away at the lining of the esophagus and stomach as well as the intestines, causing an ulcer.
they also prevent strokes, heart attack and blood clotting (which i mentioned before)!
(causes bleeding(ulcers), reduces blood clotting ..that makes sense right?)
let me know if you want any more info and ill try to get more!
again..having them once in a while is probably okay..just dont have too many, too often!
December 22, 2008 5:25 am at 5:25 am #628345xeroxMemberhow much is too often?
and how much is ‘too much’
December 22, 2008 5:46 pm at 5:46 pm #628346RoshYeshivahMemberI heard they are good for a cold any backup on that?
December 22, 2008 7:02 pm at 7:02 pm #628347KeepinEntertainedMemberso do hot peppers help speed up your metabolism thus helpin loose weight or not? doesnt grapeftuits do that?
December 22, 2008 7:14 pm at 7:14 pm #628348brooklyn19Participanti think they do and i think grapefruit also cuts your appetite. great for people who love to eat like me :}
December 22, 2008 7:41 pm at 7:41 pm #628349qawsMemberJust smelling the hot pepper juice is a great way to clear your nose when you have a cold!
December 22, 2008 9:45 pm at 9:45 pm #628350yenta101MemberXEROX: I’ll let you be your own judge on how much is too much!! And yes, i heard (but didn’t mention..sorry) that it can speed up ur metabalism!
December 23, 2008 6:02 am at 6:02 am #628351xeroxMemberyay!! this sounds like a great diet!!
Eat all the donuts and latkes- then eat a half a jar of hot peppers- and then not gain!!! (maybe even lose?!!!!) :o)
December 23, 2008 6:16 am at 6:16 am #628352brooklyn19Participanttry a laxative. it’s easier.
December 25, 2008 7:40 am at 7:40 am #628353xeroxMemberbrooklyn: what is laxative? some sorta weight loss pill??
that sounds too fishy for me!!
*and it’s more enjoyable to eat my hot peppers then take a pill; if that is what it is?!
