A potentially psychotic man orders wings with ultrahot sauce at a trendy new sports bar. The room quiets and everybody watches as he takes the first bite--he grunts quietly and tears begin to flow down his face. The pungent ingredient that brings this grown man to tears is capsaicin, a chemical that is produced by chili peppers. This scene is not new; the history of the use of chili peppers extends back into prehistoric times. The secret behind the power of capsaicin is its molecular structure and chemical properties.
