I am an adult, and I do like spicy food, but I'd like to throw in that this chip is fine. It's spicy, but not crazy. It was hot for a few minutes and then not hot.
I'm more surprised that the article affirms that large amounts of capsaicin can be physically damaging in some way. I've never heard of that before.
I know of at least two currywurst places in Germany where they offer crazy hot sauces. The more intense ones are 18+ and I think at least one of the places makes you sign that you ~~won't sue them~~ understand the risk of eating food that spicy.
There's an ice cream store in Rehoboth, DE that makes you sign a waiver before eating their ghost pepper ice cream. (It was hot but not sign a waiver hot).
Wow, apparently I do not understand the risks. I actually looked it up after I really started eating spicy food almost everyday and I understood capsaicin to excite nerves but not cause any physical damage.
I am going to have to look that up again I guess.
I think the only thing I came across was it being good for your GI tract somehow, like being good for stopping ulcers.
