Is pepper good for you?!
Is pepper good for you?
I love pepper. black pepper and white pepper. fine and the other type, the corns you have to grind etc. I love them both, a friend of mine swears that black pepper is far better for you than white pepper. He says "ya'know ya'know ya'know of course its better for you, you know that!". Is this true? what is better? and in general is this sort of pepper that you buy from any supermarket etc. good for you?
Answers:
actually your body does not digest black pepper ..... basically it just passes through but can be irritating..... white pepper is supposed to be better.....

They're from the same fruit just different ripening periods. So same properties.

I do not know the details but I've heard from several sources that pepper carries viruses and bacteria etc. But then again you can never tell why you get sick anymore. I still use it. But look into what I said a little more if you're concerned.
