well, it's clear that the japanese monkeys are making sushi if they're
stealing horseradish. much like they learned to throw grain into the sea
to separate it from sand, they will soon put their maramot rolls on sticks
and hold them out for a spray of pepper.
Here's another mention I saw promoting chilies:
"Hot red pepper (capsaicin) may increase the mgetabolic rate and burn more
calories, thus promoting weight loss. Use it judiciously in place of
salt. Cayenne pepper and dried red pepper flakes are convenient sources
of capsaicin."
The McDougall Program for Maiximum Weight Loss, p. 72
McDougall promotes an ultra-vegan diet that in most respects is devoid of
fun. His books often talk about how eating habits and excercise affect
serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. Oddly enough, he doesn't
discuss the well documented effects of capsaicin in this book. Must
not be much of a chili head.
going without cheese is bad enough, at least I get to keep my
Pukka.
Anyway, always nice to see heat being promoted as good.
