I know you want to win the argument with Sly, however, Peppers are fruits, no matter what you say. And the human body digests fruits a certain way. We harvest buckets of habaneros every year and have been growing peppers for awhile, they are fruits dear.
Cayenne pepper is used to STOP CONSTIPATION, peppers do not cause it LOL
Cayenne has been researched and proven to increase peristalsis which aids in digestion.
Even google says so ;)

Bottom line is fruits aid in adding moisture ot out intestines, peppers do it too as all fruits do. Which is why people get the shits after eating too many fruits, they bypass the stomach and digest in the intestines.
