Suz and Fellow ChDs:
I figger a "dose" of capsaicin is probably more than a tsp of pure capsaicin. 
 And that would amount to (how many?) chiles at one sitting.  The sobering 
thought is that the nations along the Mediterranean known for their spicy 
foods (Spain, Portugal, Italy) have higher rates of heart disease than the 
blander diet nations (France, Greece) in the same area (although ALL are 
substantially lower than the US).
