Spices are used by us all in the preparation of main meals, salads and appetizers, pizza and pasta.But we really thought about what isks we take when developing a passion of spicy foods? It seems that there is, and spices sold in retail,which may have a very high level of salt, sugar and fat. When eaten in moderation, spices causes small damage to the body if at all, but if we exaggerate, we expose ourselves to risk bedevil metabolism. There may be health problems, such as high blood pressure, obesity, tooth decay and dental problems, stomach pain. What do you think about this?

Jalapeno - Jalapeno Chili
Spicy foods are my favorite. But I still try to lessen the intake of spicy food because I feel like the other non-spicy foods are to bland for me. I got used on the rich flavor of spices. My favorite chili is the Jalapeno chili. I can put it in any food. I sometimes mix it to my burger, and to my nachos.It is really good.

yes i like to prepare spicy food and i make spice blends in house only with various blends.in india we call garam masala and make it freshly in house and i use just normally not too more .every spice have medicinal value which is good to our health.but we have to use them in less quantity. anything we take more ,is not good to our health. any store bought spices can spoil our health and we should be aware about them .

Really, I thought spices are good for the body? Good thing that I am not a fan of spicy food. Anything that is eaten too much of can cause harm I guess..But what spicy food causes sickness anyway?

I used to like to eat spicy a lot especially after I got pregnant. But I haven't had really spicy food since I have had my baby, I guess my taste has changed. Every once in a while, when I cook some spicy dinner, I will steal a bite, but not a lot.

Yes, I like my food to be spicy but my wife don't so every time she cooked our meal its less spicy.Some say there are benefits gain from eating spicy foods but I guess there are also some who disproves it.Whatever the risk if there is any, many likes theirs to be spicy especially men.

Hi dear, I don’t prefer too much spicy in any of the food. We should minimize spicy (chilly) while preparing food and curries. Some people are mad with spicy food and I really understand how they can tolerate such spicy food. I am sure that it will attract healthy problems. Also, there are people who each raw and red coloured chilies just like that and they don’t even show any difficulties in eating the same. Still they don’t have any healthy problems. Probably, they body conditions must be fit for it and by using spicy items for long, the digestive system must be adaptive for such people. Except non vegetarian food, I don’t even like to have chilly in any of the food. Also, all members at home don’t prefer spicy food at all. Thank-s

I learned to love hot spicy food when i started eating Korean food. My first concern was my health too because i know it can cause constipation and can damage our kidney. But kimchi is different. Kimchi is spicy but yet it contains good bacteria for good digestion. I know i should be careful in eating too much spicy food but i really love it.

Yes I like spicy food but with moderation, anything that is too much is not good for your body. My family also wants spicy foods so I'm preparing what they want.

I love eating spicy food! It surely raises my appetite to eat even the simplest meal. Just add the spices. Though I must eat only a little of it because it is one of the main cause of acid reflux, but who cares. I love it! hahaha...

I do enjoy eating spicy foods from time to time. It's something that I do enjoy. I don't usually eat it all the time, but on occasion it's something I like, and it's a nice change.

Yes i do like to eat spice foods. Spicy and hot food. Though i know much spicy is very bad for our health. So many disease that you have mention and also some other problem we face because of more spice but spice makes the curry or food more delicious. But i always try my best to don't eat much spice as it's bad and ulcer can happen for this.

Luckily I am not a big fan of spices,so I don't have too many reasons to worry about my health,at least from this point of view,but there are people who like spicy foods in excess and I don't think they realize how much damage it can do to their health.It's obvious that almost everything should be consumed with moderation, and spices are no exception.

I love eating spicy foods but I prefer mildly spicy foods. It also enhances my appetite. Eating to much spice really hurts my mouth and stomach.
