Chili Pepper News — burning flesh

Once upon a time, there was a rumor floating around that chili peppers caused ulcers. It’s an easy assumption to make. After all, the burning that chili peppers cause in your mouth could likely be linked with heartburn and other stomach or digestive issues linked with burning sensations. However, it’s faulty logic. If chili peppers left holes in your tongue, then it would be easier to link them to holes in your stomach.
