So in a nutshell, this article finds that eating spicy chili peppers 4 or more times a week reduces all cause mortality by 23%, chances of a heart attack are reduced by 40% and cerebrovascular mortality (stroke) was more than halved.

You say Jipped, this was this a study of 6 nematode worms? Nope, 22,811 people. So fairly good data.

Anyway, it makes a case for eating more chilis which I love.

Consumption of chili pepper cuts down the risk of death from a heart or cerebral attack
