I use hot sauce or Rio Grande style Pico de Gallo on EVERYTHING. I stopped buying and eating processed foods a couple of years back, so needed somethig with flavor that was good for me. I also slowly adjusted my diet to include fewer and fewer cooked foods. I'm not exactly young, but feel like I am.

If you can't find the time to work out, basic lunges, sit-ups, push ups and such go a long way. The lack of crap in your diet can go the rest to keeping excess weight off.

Be careful with that, my friend used to do that and developed an ulcer. His doctor said it was in large part due to putting tabasco on everything he ate.

Diet is largely being debunked as a cause of ulcers. Some foods will make existing problems more aggrivated though. Vinegar is an acid. Acidic foods will just further irritate any existing wounds.

Tabasco sause is primarily vinegar based and it was more the vinegar than anything that was likely causing him discomfort.

There are many hot sauces that do not contain vinegar or other acidic ingredients.

SearchMaster,

I hear ya about vinegar! Not so good for the teeth or stomach.

I make my Pico with less than a tablespoon of vinegar per large mixing bowl.

I did a quick check of the internet, which shows that Chili Peppers are known to have a host of health benefits in moderate doses. Garlic is also known as having many benefits; same for onions and tomatoes.

Yah, I love hot sauces but not plain tabasco because it tastes so much like vinegar. I prefer the Chipotle Tabasco and Cholula. They both have very good flavor and are just spicy enough.
