I don't believe that's strictly correct. Muscles contain glycogen, Wikipedia tells me [0], at a concentration of 1-2% by mass. That shouldn't really be dietarily relevant, but you did say zero carbs. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen
There Is no glycogen in meat from the store, glycogen quickly breaks down after death. https://www.reddit.com/r/nutrition/comments/354ho4/if_glycog...

Agreed. I love hot food, but I don't eat it anymore. Peppers are very bad to me. But not nearly as bad as eggplant. Nightshades are legitimately toxic.
So no tomatoes, potatoes, or bell peppers for you either?

Scotch Bonnet peppers are a little less hot than Habanero but have - to me - a much nicer flavor.
A pattern I use quite often in things I cook, is to use quite a bit of Scotch Bonnet pepper and then add a much smaller amount of the Ghost Pepper sauce. To my tastes, that yields a nice combination of flavor and heat.

Yeah, the whole solanum family increase reflux in a lot of people, some worse than others. I save my allowance for spicy peppers, and simply don't miss aubergines, potatoes (I eat yams instead), tomatoes, and perhaps related, I'm extremely tobacco-sensitive.

So hilarious! Got to build up the tolerance so as to enjoy spicy food more and spend less in the bathroom :)
Jokes aside, it seems to me that anything to which a healthy adult needs to develop a tolerance is not one that is intrinsically healthful.
You develop tolerance to exercise, is that not healthy?
If you've never done squats before, go do a couple reps. You probably will be sore and stiff for the next 4 days. Keep it up and one will develop a tolerance and (generally) have a healthier body than if one didnt do any kind of exercise.

That is quite different from introducing a foreign substance into your body and coping with the consequences.
