I don't eat any kind of hot peppers raw for contests. I don't drown everything I eat in crushed red pepper.
But I really enjoy certain kinds of foods (tomato-based mostly) with a bit of "burn" to them.
My father (who is dead, BTW, but NOT from a gastric-related illness!) put crushed red pepper on everything he ate. I hated CRP until about 5 or so years ago. Now I love it.
I think that obviously, DNA's got a bit to do with it. But I started liking the hot stuff years after my Dad. Am i on the same path? Will my love for sometimes-spicy-food give me huge-bleeding-puffy-ulcers?
Cliff Notes
Dad liked spicy food from when he was young.
He wound up with huge ulcers.
I only started liking spicy food from about 15 years before he croaked.
Is it DNA? Will I have holes in my stomach?
