Hot pepper sauces
If you are a lover of hot pepper sauces, you already know that the sauce can do a number of things to your body. For example, for some people, they can get indigestion, while others get a hot sauce high.
But, the question arises concerning the amount of damage these sauces can do to a person’s system. Although for many it may seem like their body is reacting adversely to this food, the fact is that these foods are hardly dangerous at all.
As a mater of fact, the “heat” that a person feels when eating these sauces is not a real heat in terms of how the heat reacts in your mouth (it does not create any permanent damage). The heat is actually a neurological reaction that is quite harmless.
One of the easiest ways to determine how hot a hot pepper sauce will be is to simply look at the order of the ingredients on the bottle. If the first ingredient listed is water, then you know that the sauce is going to be extremely watered down and will not be very hot at all.
On the other hand, if the first ingredient listed is something like “cayenne pepper” or “jalapeno” then you should be sure to have a cold drink next to you before taking your first bite of whatever it is you are eating with the hot pepper sauces.
