Scientific Studies Confirm Cayenne Pepper Kills Cancer Cells

In a rare moment of honesty, multiple Western medicine clinical studies have confirmed that capsaicin, the metabolite compound in hot peppers of which cayenne pepper possesses in abundance, causes cancer cells to literally self-terminate in a process known as "apoptosis."

Yet hardly anyone knows about it. The media for the most part has not reported it. This is groundbreaking information. Think about it: Cayenne pepper's chief metabolite compound capsaicin has been proven in medical, clinical studies to kill leukemic, pancretic and prostate cancer cells!

"What research?" You may ask? There have been separate studies conducted that all came to the same conclusion. Let's go over them now.

In a study reported in March 2006 by the American Association for Cancer Research, it was reported that capsaicin is able to kill prostate cancer cells by forcing them to undergo apoptosis. The study says capsaicin, "...has a profound antiproliferative effect on prostate cancer cells, inducing the apoptosis of both androgen receptor-positive and -negative prostate cancer cell lines..."

Furthermore, the same study says, "...Our data suggests that capsaicin, or a related analogue, may have a role in the management of prostate cancer."

As reported by the British Broadcasting Network, a study conducted at the University of Nottingham in England suggests as well that capsaicin is able to trigger "self-suicide" or apoptosis in lung- and pancreatic-cancer cells.

Studies conducted in Japan showed natural capsaicin inhibits the growth of leukemic-cancer cells as well.

Capsaicin Defined

So just what is capsaicin? Capsaicin is the key component of peppers of the Capsicum genus of the Solanaceae family. Cayenne pepper is a prominent member of that family.

Capsaicin is a capsaicinoid. It is a secondary metabolite chemical compound that stimulates your chemoreceptor nerve endings and your mucous membranes -- that is why you notice the heat of such hot chili peppers or cayenne pepper.

Conclusion

You don't need to know the biochemistry behind cayenne pepper to glean the health benefits of cayenne pepper or capsicum as it's sometimes called. Cayenne pepper is a phenomenal herb that has a number of phenomenal medical uses including nourishing the heart, preventing heart attacks, cleaning the blood, preventing tooth decay, cleaning your arteries, and even healing hemorrhoids.

And now medical science has proven it is a major deterrent in preventing prostate, lung, pancreatic and leukemic cancer.
