Benefits of eating Chili

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/11/24/can-cayenne-peppers-really-cure-a-headache.aspx


Chronic headache sufferers may soon have some new alternatives. The active ingredient in cayenne peppers, capsaicin, is believed to bring headache relief by depleting Substance P, a neurotransmitter that helps send pain signals.

Reverse Type 1 diabetes in mice, when injected into the pancreas
Relieve stomach aches, and gas
Help fight cancer, by binding to proteins in cancer cell mitochondria, triggering cellular death without harming healthy cells

When it comes to chili, I beg to differ about the part I put in bold!

I generally cannot eat anything without chili powder,flakes or loads of hot sauce.
I also grow my own habanero and scotch bonnet peppers.

As to chili,the way I prepare it is far more effective than senna or colace in promoting rapid motility.
