Can Capsaicin And Spicy Foods Kill Cancer Cells?


Summary: A study has been found by Nottingham University that capsaicin is able to kill cancer cells.  Capsaicin, usually found in chili peppers, attack the mitochondria of cancer cells.  Dr. Timothy Bates said “A single dose of capsaicin could force a cancer cell to apoptosis or cell death”.  And this won’t affect any other cells. 

Critique: Not only can capsaicin kill cancer cells but spicy foods can also kill cancer cell.  Spicy foods are really good.  If you have not had spicy foods before, try them.  Everything is worth a shot.  

Impact: The impact is if anyone has cancer, try capsaicin or spicy foods to help kill the cancer cells in your body.
