Myth: Spicy Foods Cause Ulcers
Fact: Hot sauce lovers, rejoice! People used to think that too much spicy food would give you an ulcer. But we now know that most of these sores in your stomach lining happen because of an infection with bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or because of pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. Foods with a lot of heat may make ulcers worse for some people, but they don't cause them.
