I've never heard of it. All famous chef's use lots of ground black pepper.

I have heard that ground pepper that has been stored for a long time is bad for a man's prostate. The oils go rancid and affect the prostate. Men should only use freshly ground pepper.

I've never heard of black pepper being bad for you. I see no reason why it should be. I do know that it's good for boosting your metabolism. Your in-law probably just can't handle spicy food. ;)

It's been said that is doesn't digest well. Red pepper (cayenne) is a good healthy substitute.

I've never heard that....I've always been told that it's much better for you than salt.

that would be salt that bad for the heart.
But too much of anything is not good.
