Peppers kill prostate cancer cells

Peppers kill prostate cancer cells: study. :

"'Capsaicin had a profound anti-proliferative effect on human prostate cancer cells in culture,' Dr Soren Lehmann, of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine, said."

221,OOO men die from prostate cancer each year. Though this study has only been trialled in mice so far, there is at least hope that something as delicious as chillies could come to the aid of prostate cancer sufferers. Go for it, guys!
