Hi Micheal,
I agree with you on all counts. I believe someone did post the
article stating that capsicum kills the bacteria that forms ulcers.
There may be something on Micheal Bowers Web Page. It contains some
very detailed science on the subject of peppers.
If there was any truth to these myths we would all be in bad shape by
now!
Maybe a "Myths" section would be a good idea. I thought I had heard
them all until my barber said hot peppers would damage my prostate!
Best Regards,
rr
