Re: cayenne pepper

Here's what I know about cayenne pepper. It improves digestion, it improves circulation, it stops bleeding. If you're bleeding, even if you sever an artery, pour some cayenne pepper on that baby, and the bleeding will stop pronto. Supposedly it can stop a heart attack too. If someone goes into cardiac arrest you can squirt some cayenne pepper extract, (it's actually called tincture, and you probably won't find it in stores, have to make your own) down their throat and their heart should start pumping again. I don't know if it's true, but I'd sure as **** try it.

Re: cayenne pepper

A spanish phrase is very truth: "Lo que pica cura" The spicey heals...
Well recently I read an article in a healthy magazine, very serious... An American study has shown that the capsaicina in charge of the spicey flavor, of peppers, and chili peppers, is able to reduce the levels of adipocitos and to restrain hiperlipidemia.

WHY?
Well, capsaicina inhibes the proliferation of preadipocites 3T3-L1 (non mature fat cells) but it stimulates also the "apoptosis", cell death.

SO.... Let's eat peppers!
