Spicy Foods? What's The Consensus?

[MetabolicTrash]

I've decided it's just like anything else -- sometimes it can be a bit good, but almost anything good can be bad (either in tandem/simultaneously or outright).

So trust your instincts, I guess, and don't blindly treat the foods like magic potions nor demonic poisons.

I do get cravings and enjoy it, but don't feel it's always with out its downsides. I guess the consensus is -- like anything -- "It depends."

I love spice so much that I was going through about a liter of Salsa Cholula every month. I had always loved spicy food, but last year I just ramped up my consumption for no particular reason.
I definitely irritated my intestinal lining. To be polite I will not go into further detail unless someone asks.
I since have all but eliminated my consumption of spicy food, but I intend to balance out to moderation eventually.
