Not meaning to shill for anyone but the June issue of Smithsonian magazine has several nifty articles about food. And one big feature on hot peppers.
Just FYI.

I particularly loved this description of a contestant in a Bhut Jolokia eating contest...
..."I have seen people stagger in movies, but never for real directly in my sightline. Zozam’s legs buckle as he tries to keep walking. He goes down onto one knee and collapses sideways onto the floor. He rolls onto his back, arms splayed and palms up. He’s making sounds that are hard to transcribe. Mostly vowels. After a minute he rolls back onto his side and raises his head to retch. A doctor prepares a hypodermic of dicyclomine. The drug is more typically administered to people with irritable bowel syndrome, to relieve cramping. Cramps and regurgitation are body responses to gastrointestinal irritation"...
