I am addicted to hot peppers. What I do in the morning is get one Scotch Bonnet (or two smaller ones), two oranges, lime and a piece of ginger into a cold press and then drink it in one go.
Can't describe it exactly, but it's like being transported to another dimension for a few seconds, then there is pain, then there is relief and then a nice warm feeling in the belly.
- uejfiweun 5mo agoI too am addicted to hot peppers. But doesn't this... IDK, it seems like it would mess up my stomach or esophagus lining or something. All that acid and capsaicin on an empty stomach?
- varispeed 5mo agoI've been doing this for like two years now and see no adverse effects, but that is just me.
- sosborn 5mo agoI would be worried about long term damage. In 10 years you might be in a world of hurt from this. At the very least I would let your doctor know that you are doing this and see what they think of it.
- t-3 5mo agoBillions of people eat spicy foods on a daily basis without any issues. As long as he doesn't rub peppers into his eyes or bathe in hot sauce he'll be fine.
- sosborn 5mo agoHow many billions of people start their day by getting one Scotch Bonnet (or two smaller ones), two oranges, lime and a piece of ginger into a cold press and then drinking it in one go on an empty stomach?
- t-3 5mo agoNo idea, but I often eat hot peppers in every meal of the day. I'd expect any possible issues to arise from chugging it one go and not priming the digestive system through mastication, but I can't imagine any real problems - after all, there are many types of drinks containing peppers.
- riknos314 5mo agoIf your intestinal lining is healthy, there's probably not much to worry about. If it hurts while just sitting in your gut that's probably a red flag that something about your digestive system is off.
- tombert 5mo agoI don't generally love super spicy food (the most I do like 95% of the time is the Taco Bell Fire Sauce), but every now and than I want something really spicy. I'm not sure why this is the case, but I'll go to a place with some Habanero sauce and get that on a meal. It will hurt (and my time in the bathroom the next day might be a little unpleasant), but it satisfies the urge.
- MyHonestOpinon 5mo agoI know if my Mexican wife is angry depending on how hot is the food and the sauces that she makes. I have also learned that very hot sauces can damage your nails as you scratch the walls the next day.
- tombert 5mo agoFunnily enough, my wife is Mexican and I think I have a higher tolerance for spicy food than she does. She won't even do the Taco Bell Fire Sauce.
- MyHonestOpinon 5mo agoThat is a bit suspicious. How accurate is she with the chancla at long range?
- tombert 5mo agoImpressively accurate, as I have discovered.
- halapro 5mo agoThe last time I bit into a nice juicy spicy pepper in the morning, I had to crouch in pain for 5 minutes as I felt stabbed right in the heart. The pepper wasn't even spicy like a bonnet, but I had an empty stomach. So yeah no more peppers without rice for me.
