Capsaicin is the molecule that gives chili peppers their "heat". Thus, it is naturally found in peppers of the genus Capsicum, which includes all chili peppers. Pure capsaicin does not occur naturally.
Capsaicin is the chemical that makes hot peppers hot. Most animals (specifically, mammals; birds appear to be unaffected by it) don't like it much because of the burning sensation it produces.
Come on, are you daft? Look at the periodic table. 'C' is for carbon, not capsaicin. Capsaicin is a fairly complex chemical compound: (CH3)2CHCH=CH(CH2)4CONHCH2C6H3-4-(OH)-3-(OCH3) ) It is mostly carbon and hydrogen, with a little oxygen and nitrogen.
Scott Horn: "Capsaicin is a molecular compound, as opposed to an ionic compound. It does not dissociate in water, and therefore solutions of capsaicin do not have a pH that is easy to calculate. The pH of capsaicin in solution would depend primarily on the liquid the capsaicin was dissolved in."
The opposite of naturally occurring would be artificially created or man-made.
No, it is chemical that binds to certain receptors and produce a sensation of pain or burning.
There are a few good ways to naturally treat pain. One of them is to take vitamins every day and another way is to apple Capsaicin Cream to areas in pain. Capsaicin is the active ingredient found in chili peppers to read more about this altmedicine.about.com

Capsaicin is pronounced; cap-SAY-sin.
Yes, consuming extremely high amounts of capsaicin can be fatal. However, it is unlikely to occur through normal consumption of spicy foods and would require ingesting highly concentrated forms of capsaicin or supplements. Symptoms of capsaicin overdose include severe burning sensation, difficulty breathing, and potential organ damage.
Capsaicin is a crystalline compound, with the formula C18H27NO3, which can be found in capsicum.
Seems to be just chili peppers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capsaicin.

use ethanol in a soxhlet extractor to get the capsaicin from dried peppers
No, capsaicin is not a type of atom. It is considered a type of molecule, or more specifically, a pure substance.
(Chilli) Peppers contain a substance called capsaicin, the more capsaicin, the hotter the pepper.
Yes, capsaicin is an oil-based compound found in chili peppers.
No, ginger does not contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is a compound found in chili peppers that gives them their spicy heat, while ginger contains other compounds like gingerol and shogaol that contribute to its distinct flavor and health benefits.
