Hot peppers are included in the nightshade family...

The bottom line, and what this thread is about, is whether or not peppers *cause* constipation, which they dont. They actually cure it.

This I agree with in full, as stated in previous post. Fibre trumps constipation, and peppers definitely contain fibre.
Unless one has a system that is sensitive to such foods, in which case they should probably avoid the entire food group (nightshades) altogether.
