TMV is/has not been a problem for me - so I pretty much blow off all the TMV posts. And I, too, give short shrift to all the salmonella. botulin, mad cow disease, cancer caused by xxxx, and cholesterol, etc. warnings. If the posters had any idea of what they were spewing about, 'twould be different. But, parroting some drivel from the tabloid press or pseudo-science show on the glass teat that has been intentionally sensationalised for "impact" tells me that the poster is desparate to post something to be noticed. Eating a couple of tablespoons of cayenne every day will cure/prevent a lot of internal ills. But, it won't increase an idiot's reasoning powers nor aid their cognitive functions. If eating chiles could do that we'd all be genius-class. ENJOY!!! -------- UNCLE DIRTY DAVE'S KITCHEN -- Home of Yaaaaa Hooooo Aaahhh!!! HOT SAUCE and Hardin Cider
