Are There Any Established Medical Benefits To Spicy Foods??

1 ⤊

Is it healthy? Unhealthy? etc...

My hypothesis, for example, would be that spicy food is healthy, since the spiciness could help cleanse the colon.

Not only do they help cleanse the colon, but they speed up the metabolism. They increase circulation. They help decrease pain.
