Just got back from the doctor after my annual physical. Last year, my BP was 140/95, borderline high - this was before I started ingesting chiles. One year later, and a certified (or certifiable) CH and my BP is 135/78! (with no other dietary/lifestyle changes) Go figure. I'll let you know how my cholesterol turns out . . .
