Stops heart attacks in 30 seconds? Probably by increasing the pain because your mouth is on fire.

As someone with an ulcer the last thing I want to eat is God dammed cayenne pepper.

Capsacin is actually pretty much a potential wonder drug, especially for nervous system stuff, and a lot of those aren't far from the truth.

Stopping a heart attack is pretty much unlikely though, but it wouldn't surprise me - it does thin the blood, rapidly.

They have also been injecting it directly into the spine over the last few years which helps the signals sent via the nervous system that I can't fully relate with my limited knowledge in the field.

For some content, for context a guy was recently filmed shouting abuse at a bus driver in the city in Taiwan where I live. He was Taiwanese (and pretty clearly Asian even if you didn't know that) but raised and educated in North America so shouted in English with a North American accent.




The Chinese social media scene is crazy surrounding this guy. The weirdest part, though, is that it's totally focused on that he's not 100% born/raised in Taiwan. All the Taiwanese/Chinese language news are even calling him a 老外 (a maybe sorta pejorative term for a foreigner) instead of a 华侨/华裔 which are more common/"nice" words specifically for an overseas-raised Chinese. Also Taiwanese people have human flesh searched him, doxxed him, and are calling to deport and/or murder him.

That's the worst version yet. Normally it's supposed to at least be smug or smarmy. This one's just sad, it's basically: That's stupid, you're stupid, gently caress you.

The sad thing about most of these stupid Facebook memes that get spread around is a lot of them could be really funny if used properly. The video of the guy doing the Kermit "That's none of my business" is actually hilarious to me. But people use them as a platform for self righteousness or use them totally and completely improperly.

The Crank movies were mildly entertaining, and can be noted for trying something new (however well that turned out). Then like any piece of media to some it is the greatest thing ever made, and to others it is the biggest piece of poo poo.

Without getting into the distinction between herbs and spices (spoiler: they done hosed up), how do you master one? Classes? Written tests? Do you have to climb a remote mountain in South America where a wizened old man calls you grasshopper and eats unimaginable amounts of cayenne?

Eat 100g each day basically. Also, don't put anything in your mouth without adding cayenne. This includes penises and vaginas.

Also, why didn't they add "indigestion" to the list? That seems like a real thing that cayenne could help with.

This seems to cover many of the claims in the image, some are fairly weak actions, but for something that can be added to your diet, it's still incredibly useful:

http://www.med.nyu.edu/content?ChunkIID=21645

Recently (last 5 years) I know there's been some studies on use of capsaicin to treat diabetes (particularly type 2), which the image surprisingly doesn't cover:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21332406

More amazingly, it may actually *cure* type 1 diabetes

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867406015340

Regarding the heart attack claims, there's this:

http://www.healthnews.uc.edu/news/?/9213/

Which seems to be the source of the claim.

The fact that it lowers cholesterol in blood is part of the action claimed to be behind the use in heart attacks, which is another aspect that the image surprisingly omits:

I'm on my phone so no pictures, but a friend of mine posted a link to some theory about why they didn't just ride the eagles to Mordor in LotR. So I responded with the actual canon reason why and my friend was like all neat.

Then one of his other friends came in and posted about what a poo poo I am and how what i said was "directly contradicted" by some crappy video game and blablabla.

So i said "sorry man books are canon and it doesnt matter if some crappy game says different. Peace :kick flips out of this thread:"

I woke up this morning and dude has lost his poo poo. Its pretty great.
