Chili Pepper News — Capsaicin

According to research published in the British Medical Journal, people who eat spicy foods six to seven times a week, reduce their chance of death by 14 percent. Um, what? You can give death the middle figure if you eat foods spiced from bottles depicting the grim reaper? No. That’s not the case. You will die. It’s probably something you should get your head around at some point. We hope it’s not anytime soon, but it’s going to happen. That’s life even if you choose to believe that cryogenic freezing can prolong your life; you’re going to die.

Chili peppers are impressive. We’re not saying that because we grow them, nor because we transform them into the world’s hottest hot sauces. We’re not even saying that because we like them so damn much.

Remember the first time you picked up a bottle of hot sauce. More than likely, you didn’t start with Mad Dog, we know. Most of our hot sauces are for the truly dedicated out there. People tend to start with sauces in the 2000 to 5000 Scoville range.

Whether you get your hellfire fix through chili peppers or one of our insanely fiery hot sauces, the capsaicin inside burns like crazy. We’ve seen people running around the room looking for relief as much as we’ve seen faces struggling to remain calm through the tears and stinging, relentless pain.
