I love spicy food. The chemical that causes your mouth to burn so is called capsaicin, and it is only found in chili peppers. Originally used to help preserve meat, capsaicin has other uses besides livening up your tacos. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in pepper spray, some arthritis medicines, and some garden pest sprays. Research suggests that capsaicin may also fight cancer.
