Capsaicin, the heat in jalapenos, causes lemming effect in cancer cells

I have long been fascinated with the cures that exist in the natural world that people who lived closer with nature knew about. Or the fact that some diseases we have now didn't used to exist or they exist in some parts of the world, and not others.

Well according to studies published in today's issue of Cancer Research, yet another plant reveals it's cancer killing abilities. It turns out that Capsaicin, which is the 'ingredient' in jalapenos that makes them hot, drives prostate cancer cells to kill themselves. WOW!

Now, maybe you don't eat a lot of jalapenos, but I know there are places in the west that do. We were amazed in our travels to find we could purchase a side order of jalapenos at Burger King. But regardless of whether you like these spicy peppers, I am sure we can expect to see vitamin supplements developed if they don't exist already along with new types of chemotherapy based on these new findings.

So go ahead...set your mouth on fire and make your prostrate smile!
