Red Hot Chilli Consumption Is Harmful in Patients Operated for Anal Fissure – A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study

Genius scientist concludes: "Red Hot Chili Consumption Is Harmful in Patients Operated for Anal Fissure"

Talk about a breakthrough in our thinking! The author is sort of a combination Isaac Newton and Sherlock Holmes.

"Postoperative symptoms were higher in the group consuming chillies during the first postoperative week. The global scores for postoperative pain (7.60 in chilli group and 2.95 in control group, p ! 0.001) and for anal burning (8.85 for the chilli group vs. 4.21 for the
control group, p ! 0.0001) were significant. Conclusion: This study shows that consumption of red chillies after anal fissure surgery should be forbidden to avoid postoperative symptoms."

Might I suggest, to save him money on another study, that eating red hot chilis might also increase anal burning in people who have NOT had anal fissure surgery. Just a thought.
