    I really love to eat/drink hot and, sour soup. But my mom always tell me not to. I understand that spicy food is only good for taste not, body. Care to explain why? ~ Please & Thank You~

    Spicy food in a moderate consumption is good for the body. According to an article i read a while ago, certain type of jalapenos (not the jalapenos per se but the compound found inside) has the property of killing cancer cells. Im sure that if more researches are done, there would be some fascinating breakthrough in regards to consuming spicy food.

    Its possible bc eating a lot of spicy food can trigger several internal mechanism that can lead to development of pimples and such. Mind you that other conditions have to met before its full blown.
