LOL. I know one can't get anecdotal and cite just one case, but my husband

(who is about 30 pds overweight) likes his food the spicier, the better. He

adds hot sauce to just about everything. I buy it by the gallon in the

Chinese food market, where it's very inexpensive. So it certainly isn't

true in all cases (if at all).
