Hot Sauce Drawbacks?

[Tom Treutlein]

Is there anything bad about hot sauce? I once heard that using it too frequently can cause ulcers in the future, but I've always loved my spicy and hot foods and sauces, and it's never given me an upset stomach.

I guess it depends on the hot sauce.. I like Franks Red Hot (buffalo sauce) and it's not too bad..
for 1 tsp it's got 71 calories, 0 fat, 0 carb, 0 protein.. only thing that you might want to watch out for is the sodium content, it's 210mg.. but like I said, it's nothing terrible as far as I've noticed.

How can it have no macros, but have 71 calories? Is it loaded with alcohol or something?

I believe according to the FDA is your serving size contains less than 1 whatever-unit of something, you can report it as 0. So if it had .8g carbs per serving, you can put 0g carb. I'm assuming that's the case, but those numbers are right off the label so you'd have to ask the people who make the hot sauce

Your a little confused, Frank's has 70 SERVINGS in the big bottles and 0 Cals. Pour it on brotha!

plus capsaicin which is in jalapeno peppers has been shown to REDUCE stomach ulcers....

The bottle of Frank's hot sauce I have in front of me shows 0 calories for 1 teaspoon....

Watch that you aren't using a sauce that has added ingredients like sugar, etc in it which will bump up the calories.....

HOT SAUCE ROCKS!!

I was going to say that 71 cals a tsp is pretty bad!! I know some of those wing sauces are sauces rather than just hot sauce......
