Spicy foods have more use than just heartburn...


Research and food grind my gears. Combining the two is just magic and that's what follows. Listening to npr and NY times podcast this morning was extra insightful since it covered something that I have been eating for about all my life. Spicy food research is revealing a lot of benefits these days and here are some promising features of the food.

1. It increases metabolic rate therefore burning calories. (link)
2. It can suppress appetite, therefore you eat less! (see above)
3. It can kill cancer! (link)

my recommendation: add Sriracha to everything
