Spicy Food Yay or Nay?

On Wednesday, January 26, 2011, I Kevin Michael Vu had underwent one of the most excruciating 15 minutes of my life.  For a fundraiser my fraternity had come up with the genius idea to undergo the 911 Hellsfire challenge at Santa Clara's local chicken wing restautant Smoke Eaters.
We had 10 minutes to eat 12 wings filled with Hellsfire sauce.  Which sauce is made of Habinero peppers and an artificial spice.  Yes, artificial, the sauce is so spicy that spices within it could not be found in nature.
Then after the 10 minutes were over, if that was not bad enough we have to lick out hands clean and sit for five minutes with no drinks, no napkins, just pain.
And out of the six brothers that underwent this challenge, I was the only one to complete it!
So in honer of the challenge I have decided to dedicate this week to spicy foods.
Some say that spicy food boosts and lowers your metabolism. In the article provided you will learn about the pros and cons about spices.
