I haven’t searched this; thought I’d ask the knowledgeable folks here about the subject. I recall my grandfather eating hot and spicy stuff a lot while I was growing up. He never, ever ate junk food or sweets either. His cholesterol was real good grandma told me. So, are hot peppers, sweet peppers good for us? Think a uncle of mine said they may help with dissolving the plaque in arteries? Thank You all folks.
