- kowgod, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29So, maybe fireass after eating a good habanero salsa is a good thing, then?
- bigpeeler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26I didn't read the article, but I wonder if people who eat peppers indigenously have a lower rate of cancer?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22The next time my ass burns from eating hot wings and beer I'll be sure to think of this article.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22"Habañero peppers, which are native to the Yucatan, typically contain up to 300,000 Scoville units. The more popular Jalapeño variety from Oaxaca, Mexico, and the southwest United States, contains 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units."
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I remember reading that Capsaicin causes the nerves to think your in pain, so the brain will release endorphins to try and stop that pain, which is why we love peppers. This seems to be something similar, as it is to do with it blocking receptors..
- lasermike026, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Cancer is the worst. I've had family member who have had cancer and have died from it. The current regiments are barely effective and almost completely ineffective in some cases. I would like to bring your attention to the worst cancer of them all, pancreatic cancer which is only matched in deadliness by ovarian cancer. There is no effective cure for pancreatic cancer and the prognosis is poor 99% percent of the time. 32,000 people die a year in the United States of this cancer and there have been NO advances in treatment. We must step up research and development new treatments conventional and alternative for pancreatic cancer. And I don't care what discipline or style the cure or treatment comes from. Something has to be done.

A. very tasty.
B. a small price to pay for being cured of prostate cancer - clevershark, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20You can really stack up the odds by eating hot peppers and masturbating all the time: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3072021.stm . Although you'd better do the second thing first, because you do not want to touch yourself after handling hot peppers...
- snoble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I'm sorry doc, you want me to stick what, where?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17dude..you just came up with the best cancer prevention ever...
burritos and porn... - madholepunch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16learn to love the burn, lads!
- beerpong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15and i thought my mexican girlfriend was trying to kill me with her spicy food
- beervolcano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13what about a habanero enema?
- Jadix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12what, you have butt cancer?
- kakapu4u, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Eat a habañero, and you'll have a natural colonic in a day or so anyway.
- joormotha, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I'll take a habañero over a colonic.
- commiecat, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13Hooray for chipotles!
-commiecat - Polaris75, on 10/12/2007, -11/+18Jalapeños have no heat and are for wussies ...
;-)
Habanero peppers are where it's at! - JohnnySoftware, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9So Baja Fresh, California Tortilla, and Chipotles are now health clinics?
- Bobd314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I saw this story on the digg spy thing and it read "Capsaicin (the stuff in peppers) triggers suicide ..." I wondered why that would be good at all, so I clicked it and realized the full title wasn't shown.
- nicepants, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I wonder how mice react to orally ingested Capsaicin. I mean besides from the cancer killing, I'd just love to see if they react similar to a human who just bit into a habanero.
- Rounin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hello, I'd like to order two Pepper Foam Shakes to go.
- DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Damn I want a Mexican girlfriend. Michelle Rodriguez won't return my calls
- aeiou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sweet! I knew I liked this stuff.... time for some Capsaicin!
- florin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Gentlemen, choose your cancer medicine:

(and be sure to click the items and read the reviews for a good laugh) - JaceFuse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I remember reading many years ago that spicy foods were considered good Cancer prevention for a lot of reasons. Since then I thought it was just generally well known that capcaisin had some effect on cancer. I even remember specifically reading that regular ingestion of peppers could drastically reduce one's chances of colon cancer.
Maybe this new information has built upon that knowledge, I dunno. But as far as I know this isn't "new". Either way, I've been a chili-head for a long time. I eat spicy foods at least 3 or 4 times per week. In fact I eat so many spicy foods that it's difficult for me to find food that is "hot enough".
When I go to Hooters I get the 911 sauce. 3-Mile is a joke. My friends hate it because MY food makes THEIR eyes water. It's great.
Hopefully I'll never have to worry about cancer. - dkocolin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if they just made this discovery i'd wager it would take a few years to study cancer incidents in these groups, wouldn't you?
- davidkain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Along these lines, I recall reading somewhere (apologies for not linking, but this was quite a long time ago) that the endorphins Capsaicin triggers are related in some way to orgasms. Supposedly this brings about a feeling of well-being following the "ouch" of eating the hot food. Is it true? Who knows. As someone who LOVES spicy food, I'd like to think so :)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3DOC: Just take this ointment and apply to the affected area.
PATIENT: But why does the container have "HOT SAUCE" written on the label? - Canthros, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Probably they do. You can buy bird feed (suet, anyway) with capsaicin in it to keep the squirrels out of it. Apparently, the birds can't taste the stuff, but squirrels (and, presumably, other rodents) can.
- Tobruk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Nothing was mentioned in his article about mexicans or other latin american cultures that eat jalapeños & habanero peppers daily as a normal part of their meals. Would you not see a marked decrease in prostate cancer within these latin cultures? Interesting article, but more research should be applied.
- Bluezdood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3My anus cringes at the thought.
- zezz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If he still had an extensive collection maybe he wasn't eating enough of it.
- zimm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4So when i spray you in the eyes with pepper spray...
i'm only working to stop cancer! i'm not guilty of assault! - PuyoDead, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5http://hotsauce.com/detail.aspx?ID=638
Cure for cancer? - SLoTH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2look up the red Savina habanero. There are actually hotter substances on the market than buying generic peppers. Check out www.extremefood.com - That is Blair Lazar's famous website
- bluehouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2if you're ever had your prostate checked by a doctor you'd understand
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Best damned news I've heard. I eat peppers or something with capsicum nearly everyday.
- jumjum, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2IMO, apricot seeds need to be heavily researched.
- kickarse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4hmmmm... chipotle!
- fenderstrat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Or you can just buy the habanero extract.... 1million scoville units. One drop on the tongue can make a grown man cry. I tried it once, and though I didn't try I turned red and it was harder to talk. I hear they also have a more extracted version that 7 million scoville units...this stuff makes regular habaneros look like girl food...
- kabewm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well I use to get annoyed by the fact that capsaicin doesn't lose it's potency in the digestion process. Guess I should be glad that my ass is on fire when I eat some really spicy food. . .
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2When you eat something so hot you have to wipe with a Q-Tip and an Ice Cube, THAT is when you know you're helping fight colon cancer.
- Jams, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Direct link: http://www.sweatnspice.com/429-13.htm
16 million Scoville Units of Pure Capsicum in a 1ml vile. - ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sinus Pain? Quite the Opposite. Try one of those habenaro bad boys next time you have a sinus flu. Clears ya right out.
- Grig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It really doesn burn on the way in and out. Pass the After Death Sauce please. http://extremefood.com/product.php?id=5
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13-8 Habeneros 3 times per week???? I think the victim, er um, I mean patient might choose cancer over treatment after the first round.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think biology is considered science, man
- tupuli, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3"you're supposed to put them in your mouth ;-)"
