Chilli powder

[debbiem]

I don't know whether it's purely because I love the stuff and it gives me a hit, but after eating anything with hot chilli powder in/on it, I get such a feeling of wellbeing shortly afterwards I certainly can't be imagining it.
Does anyone know how chilli powder is good for you? I've heard it's something to do with the blood. It certainly works for me!

What a great site The witch, and it gives the answer to everything!
The author says he can count on one hand the amount of times he's been ill in the last twenty years, it's the same for me. I'm the only one in our family though that likes it really hot, the others'll like a bit of moderately hot chilli but that's their limit.. That's why I go to town when I'm having lunch here on my own as I can overdose and make it as hot as I like. ;D

Thanks again - it probably gives me hot flushes too but I've just accepted it as par for the course! ;D
