I am no longer a member of the SDA church, but there were never any "rules" about not eating pepper. Food consumption is pretty much summed up in Leviticus 11, where it speaks about "Clean" and "unclean" meats. Various unhealthy foods are also discouraged, because it is taught that the body is a temple.

Why are you no longer a Seventh Day Adventist? Just curious because I have doubts myself

~ That is true, there aren't rules about food consumption, etc. from the church itself. It has been advised that since pepper is a spice, which can bother the digestive tract and cause certain health problems. Mustard has spices and there are many Adventists who don't use mustard for the same reasoning.

It's not a matter of can't, it's a matter of advisement that we SHOULDN'T due to desiring a very good physical health/physical body since we believe that our bodies are temples for Christ; 1 Corinthians 6:15: "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?"
