Are you saying that food ingredients can have absolutely no medicinal value? Many spices have documented potent anti-inflammatory effects. Eating spicey foods is also linked to longevity.

I'm not suggesting flushing your meds in favor of eating spicy foods (if that's what you mean).

What I am saying is that (along with other 'functional foods' like coffee, tea, cocoa etc.) spices may have the ability to modulate mood.

If I could modulate my diet in a way that means I have to take even 10-20% less medication, I will do that.

F.Y.I. In addition to TRVP1 receptors, I just read that capsaicin interacts with several opioid receptor subtypes (mu, delta, kappa).
