Is eating too much black pepper bad for you?
I made my dad lunch. Fish finger, last couple bits of french fries left and green peas. I put some pepper on and I was clumsy, about half a tablespoon of pepper fell onto his plate:(. Too much pepper for the food on his plate. But didn't want to waste and make the food again so just gave it to him.
My dad is diabetic and takes Metmorfin, he says he finds food tastes weird, tasteless or bitter at times.
So in addition to the pepper, he took hot chilli sauce and salt with his food.
I am worried though, is too much pepper/heat bad for health?

Hope this helps.
Now where did you hear that ????
You can imagine the charge sheet..
I didn't, I made it up
That sounds plausible - she should definitely try that
Someone once told me too much of it could get you high...
Hobbit Feet is a pup surely !!
I dunno! *off to google*
I think you have to inhale it, don't you?
I found this: http://www.truthtree.com/Nutmeg.shtml You can eat or inhale to get high, but it is very dangerous.
Does nutmeg come with warnings on the packaging? I had no idea until now that there were any dangers associated with it.
Possible Benefits of Black Pepper:
· Alleviates hemorrhoids
· Alleviates gas
· Alleviates constipation
· Improves digestion - just think, by grinding or shaking black pepper onto your meal, you may actually be aiding yourself in the digestion of that meal. How? Black pepper stimulates the taste buds, alerting your stomach to increase its hydrochloric acid secretion which aids in digestion.
· Alleviates loss of appetite - again, black pepper wakes up and stimulates your taste buds.
· Promotes sweating
· Promotes urination
· Anti-bacterial effect
· Anti-oxidant effect
· Stimulates the breakdown of fat cells
· Inhaling vapor from black pepper extract may reduce withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking - this theory is still being tested...
· Piperine - an alkaloid found in black pepper - could enhance the bioavailability of some nutritional substances and drugs. It also may have anti-carcinogenic properties and anticonvulsant
Possible Negative Effects of Black Pepper
· According to at least one study, black pepper may cause an increase in parietal secretion (of hydrochloric acid - the acid abovementioned as an aid to digestion) and pepsin secretion and a loss in potassium.
· Also, there is a chance of mucosal mircrobleeding and even gastric bleeding due black pepper (due, at least in part, to the above-stated secretions).
· Piperine may actually be carcinogenic (although some studies show that it is anti-carcinogenic...) and it might even have negative effects on sperm and interfere with reproductive processes.
All in all, it seems that more likely than not, black pepper has positive health benefits. But before you start loading black pepper onto every single meal, realize that there are possible negatives, as well (which can practically be said about most any food!)"
I don't think half a tablespoon is going to be life threatening however.
a pup?
I might be, depending on context of course.
I don't think it does come with a warning-- though that might just encourage some if it did! Yeah, everything I've come across so far says it has some pretty bad/dangerous side effects and it takes about 4-8 teaspoons to have a hallucinogenic effect.
Don't do it, kids! (sorry I mentioned it now )
Too much Nutmeg will make you ill.
As a teenager I was once told that putting nutmeg into a joint gets you high, it didn't, it just made me a bit queasy
I'm beginning to wonder if this is why I always crave egg custards with the nutmeg sprinkled on top
You are a pup.
