Capsaicin's Effect on Cancer

[KDR]

After wondering if the red hot chili pepper I eat everyday had anything to do with ever-present neuropathy, I researched it and found that capsaicin, the scientific name for hot peppers, actually has quite the opposite effect. It seems that in certain situations, capsaicin actually caused the tumor cells to commit suicide, particularly in pancreatic and prostate cancers, and has been used as an anti-inflammatory as well as pain patches. Spoke to oncologist about it this morning and confirmed its well-being attributes. Anyone use it regularly?

Warmly,
Karen
