Hotsauce bad for you? - Page 3 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Also i dont get the point. I like to taste food and hot sauce to the point its like eating fire just removes the point. You may as well just eat dehydrated space food and whatever you can buy cheap as you arent really enjoying the food anyway.

Or you could just eat really healthy tasteless food.

Underrated: hot sauce on popcorn. When you take the bag out of the microwave pour a bunch in there and shake it all up. Its pretty good. Also great on pizza.

Oh, this is the dr livingstone that hates milk...
You can have all the tabasco you want.
The red in your poop means you are doing it right.

i don't know if this is just old wives tales or science fact, but i'd heard that hot sauce and peppers raise your metabolism, making you less likely to be obese.

pretty sure it doesn't make a huge difference when it's going in your eyes.

poured an entire bottle of one of these into it

proceeded to eat the whole thing. whilst drunk scrape index finger alongside the unfinished portions of the bowl and scraped it along the eye. then grabbed another bottle of tabasco and poured a good 4 to 5 drops directly into the eye. had tears for at least an hour. no vision problems for 5 years; then required glasses/contacts.

My uncle did something similar. He was eating a kebab with chilli sauce and since he was a bit drunk he somehow fell face first into the donner. I hear it was hilarious, and the fact he was all "oh, oww, this is quite painful indeed" was prob funny too.

Then 5 years later - BAMMM, hit by a bus.

Housenuts, I guess my question was more why would you pour tabasco into your eye than a physical description of you doing it. You seem to think saying you were drunk explains it, but I drink a lot and can't ever remember ever being seized by the urge to blind myself.

It takes time to get approval for studies, find participants, etc. Dude needed to prove he was correct RIGHT NOW.

If you're really serious about your hot sauce and aren't afraid to die, it doesn't get any hotter than pure capsaican crystals. Might be better suited for weaponizing than as a cooking ingredient. 16 million SHU!

Blair's 16 Million Reserve Crystals - World's Hottest Extract! Guinness Book World Record Holder! No more than 999 Bottles were made!

We are down to the final bottles remaining in our private inventory. Select Bottle Number from available list when Ordering! What you will find inside this Famous Reserve bottle is amazing, a 1ml. pharmaceutical grade vial filled with this unreal 16 Million Pure Capsaicin Crystals! ((CH3)2CHCH=CH(CH2)4CONHCH2C6H3-4-(OH)-3-(OCH3)). Pure capsaicin is a hydrophobic, colorless, odorless, crystalline to waxy compound. Wear eye protection and gloves, and use tweezers when handling. You don’t want to end up with two crystals in your sauce. Blair’s 16 Million compares to tabasco the way a bottle rocket compares to Nagasaki, the New York Post wrote.

The 16 million reserve probably isn't appropriate for every dish, and may overwhelm the sensitive palate. But for the sale price of $2,095 you can get the variety pack.

I'll put some tabasco sauce on a burger every now and then, that's about it for me. I was just curious about the extremes people go to with hot sauce, and it appears pure capsaican crystals would have to be the absolute limit. So about the sauces listed on this page: At what point on the Scoville units scale does a sauce move out of the range of being something you'd actually want to put on food (other than as a dare)?

This stuff has amazing flavour and heat and is probably around the 100-200 000 mark.
