30/11 Claire - Chilli addiction

“Capsaicin stimulates brain to excrete endorphin and gives a sense of pleasure when ingested. This is the reason people get addicted to chilli” http://www.chilly.in/chilli_benefits.htm

I honestly think I am. Twice out for curry this weekend. Chilli pickle as a mid day snack. There seems to be a lot of evidence on the net that chilli is very good for you, from the high levels of vitamin C, B6, A and folic acid, being a natural antibiotic and increasing your metabolism to name but a few benefits. I wonder these wonderful benefits are countered when my chilli servings are covered in ghee ;o)
