The scientists believe the capsaicin triggers certain beneficial protein changes in the body. The new study appears here in the ACS' monthly Journal of Proteome Research. Laboratory studies have hinted that capsaicin may help fight obesity by decreasing calorie intake, shrinking fat tissue, and lowering fat levels in the blood. Nobody, however, yet knows exactly how capsaicin might trigger such beneficial effects. In an effort to find out, the scientists fed high-fat diets with or without capsaicin to lab rats used to study obesity. The capsaicin-treated rats lost 8 percent of their body weight and showed changes in levels of at least 20 key proteins ...

The weather is cold, dreary and damp. I’m starting to believe all that urban legend stuff about it raining all the time. I do, however, know that the second Wednesday of the month is reserved for our monthly “Recipe for success” post. Summer is a time for bright flavors and light meals and as little time in front of a stove as possible (although a steaming bowl of Irish Stew sounds about right for our current Seattle weather). In thinking of a recipe for this month, I decided on a little something that is easy, tasty, good for us and good on just about everything. An African, spicy, chili chutney called, Piri-Piri, comes from the southern part of the continent. ...

Doctors are testing hot sauce to see if it can relieve the pain of surgery.In a previous article I explained how researchers were testing to see if the main ingredient in chili peppers, capsaicin, we able to be used as an anesthetic during surgeries (they tested on lab rats) but now doctors seem to be taking things a step further.A report on Yahoo News is stating that doctors are "dripping the chemical that gives chili peppers their fire directly into open wounds during knee replacement surgery and a few other highly painful surgeries."The experiments do use an ultra-purified version of capsaicin (thank god because THAT makes all the difference) and they have the volunteers anesthetized so they don't feel the initial searing pain (again, THANK GOD).So what'...
