It’s your choice. No one else cares. However, xtra is bad (txtspk)

Myself, I like hot sauce on ice cream and cereal.

Are you drinking it instead of water?

@gailcalled: Xtra is the name of the hot sauce… she wasn’t using txtspk

I never heard of rocoto sauce before, I want to try that.

It depends on the type of hot sauce you are using. Some (but not all) of them are loaded with sodium, so yes, it could be bad.

My ex wife complained every time I used hot sauce. She was just stupid. I pulled up research on hot sauce and it’s absolutely healthy stuff. Low in salt, high in flavor… a wonderful and flavorful vegetable substance. Unlike salt, butter and many of the other things people add for flavor, Hot sauce is about the most innocuous. Enjoy it in good health.

Tabasco has only 30mg of salt per tsp, and not many people use a whole teaspoon.

I concur with the above jellies. And I bet you never catch a cold, do you?
My husband swears by the stuff too. The capsaicin in hot sauce is whats beneficial for you. I prefer to take it in tablet form.

I’ve heard it helps reduce arthritis inflammation and other benefits, but the only reason I use hot sauce is… I love the FLAVA! :D

I know I am addicted. I love the “Mo Hotta is Mo Betta” selection of hot sauces (some of them are wicked hot—anything with a reference to sphincter in the title should probably provide ample warning).

My nephew eats it on everything seriously, and he’s as healthy as they come. He goes through a giant bottle a week. My sister is looking at Sam’s Club for gallons of it, but I told her to just make it herself so now she’s researching recipes and canning techniques for it.

@Samantha_Rae: Aha; It’s Xtra. That’s why capital letters matter, don’t they?

Too much of anything is bad for you, even water.

You are not the only one. i started out working with a hispanic friend who got me hooked on Tabasco Saurce. i have graduated up to Hebanero Sauce and loving every minute of it. i will not put hot sauce on ice cream. the milk cools down the burning of the peppers.

Burns going in, burns going out.

Chillis are good for you. I guess it depends what other ingredients are in the sauce. Salt and E-numbers?
