Limits Spreading of Prostate Cancer
Cancer Reasearch published a study in March 2006 which concluded that Capsaicin helped stop the spread of prostate cancer. The Capsaicin found in Chillies triggered suicide in both primary types of prostate cancer cell lines.
"It also dramatically slowed the development of prostate tumors formed by those human cell lines grown in mouse models" said Soeren Lehmann, M.D., Ph.D., visiting scientist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA School of Medicine.
The dosage on mice that produced these effects equated roughly to about 5 Habanero Peppers a week for an average adult man.
