Blog — Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition Hot Sauce

Some people love the taste of spicy food, while others avoid it. You might hear them say it irritates their stomach or its too much to handle. But what’s the real deal when it comes to spicy food? Is it truly healthy, or is it harmful?

Spicy food oftentimes isn’t for the faint of heart. Some of the hottest peppers on the planet are packed with capsaicin, and that means an extra dose of heat. Sure, eating spicy food delivers a bit of a thrill, but sometimes the heat can be a bit overwhelming.

We’ve probably all been there at least once. You get something in your eye, and it immediately starts burning. If it’s a splash of spicy pepper, you’ll probably never forget the pain. Even a tiny bit of pepper juice, especially from peppers high on the heat scale, can seriously burn!

If you feel like you’re always trying to spice up snack time, you’re probably not alone. New research shows more and more people are reaching for hot sauce and spicy snacks. According to a recent Instacart survey of more than 2,000 adults in the US, about 74-percent admit to topping off their food with hot sauce.
