Anyone heard they help speed metabolism?

Yeah I read it somewhere. I like em anyway though. I cut fresh jalapenos and put em in my eggs along with cilantro and tomatos daily. Also love tabasco, franks red wings sauce, that red rooster asian sauce and chili sauces. So good.

Metabolism Booster Pack #2: Jalapeno, Habanero, and Cayenne Peppers
Secret Ingredient: Capsaicin — the chemical in peppers that gives them their bite

How it works: By speeding up your heart rate. A study from the late '80s found that eating a single spicy meal can boost your metabolism by up to 25 percent, with the spike in calorie burning lasting for up to 3 hours after you finish eating. More recently, a study from Laval University in Quebec found that men who consumed coffee plus red pepper-packed snacks and meals were able to burn nearly 1,000 more calories a day than a control group.

Small snacks can also help keep your body from running out of fuel — preventing those 3 p.m. office blahs. "When you restrict the number of calories your body has for fuel, your metabolic rate can drop temporarily," says Susan Roberts, Ph.D., chief of the energy-metabolism laboratory at Tufts University in Boston. That makes it easier to pack on the pounds and harder to burn them off again.

Haha. Yeah I try to keep my Jap intake down but other sauces dont bother me at all. I soak my chicken breasts in that Franks Red hot Sauce as an alternative to wings. Only thing bad is the 200mg sodium per serving.

I think it is the Capsaicin in the hot peppers is what helps to speed up the metabolism.
