6.) No way is spicy food bad for you. I am almost sure it is quite the opposite. I have no basis on which to make this claim.
I've long entertained a theory that cultures that dislike spicy foods, e.g., the Midwestern US, are naturally going to be fatter / unhealthier than other demographics, all things being equal, just because if you don't like spiciness, all you have left for flavor enhancers are fat, salt and sugar.
