In the days before my stomach decided it hated me and anything I cared to eat, I used to be a "pepperhead" with a liking for hot, spicy food. (Nowadays I go for non-pepper spicing, and that seems to be paying off.)
Still, no way, no how, nuh-huh.
'Hottest Chilli Sauce' Launched (BBC News)
"The pure capsaicin, 30 times hotter than the hottest pepper and 8,000 times hotter than Tabasco sauce, is distilled from several tons of fresh peppers.
Mr Lazar describes the powder, produced in a laboratory by workers wearing sealed suits and masks to avoid inhaling the dust, as "pure heat".
The final product is a white, crystalline powder."

And thankfully I'm really very fond of cilantro.
