    I just gave it a try. It’s pretty good. The hot sauce is a nice touch.

    What hot (spicy) foods do is speed up your metabolism. If you’re dieting, it’s recommended that you eat hotter foods. If you live in Third World (Thailand, Mexico, etc.) countries where sanitation is an issue, hot foods are used to kill worms, etc. in your digestive tract. Now you know.

    That sounds a bit farfetched. If our stomach acids don’t kill parasites, it seems unlikely that spicy foods would either. BUT then I read this: http://www.livestrong.com/article/54060-spices-foods-kill-parasites/ Who knew? Andrew did.

    yes! Spicy food is actually good for you! Just as long as you can tolerate it.

    This was unbearable. It had such a horrible tangy taste it made me gag.
