Capsacin also is a known topical pain relief for osteoarthritic pain. The chillie's bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A. Chili peppers have a bad, and mistaken reputation for contributing to stomach ulcers. Not only do they not cause ulcers, they can help prevent them by killing bacteria that may have ingested, while stimulating the cells lining the stomach to secrete protective buffering juices.
